The Charlie Kirk Show - Are Black People Being Hunted? LIVE from the University of Alabama

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, as many of you know, we've been crisscrossing the country with our Turning Point USA campus tour.

00:00:08.000 And thank you for all of you that are coming to AmericaFest, tpusa.com/slash A-M-F-E-S-D, December 18, 19, 2021.

00:00:16.000 Well, as part of our tour, our Exposing Critical Racism tour, we went to University of Alabama, where I got some of the most interesting questions that you will hear about the vaccine.

00:00:24.000 Are black people being hunted at the University of Alabama?

00:00:28.000 Rather interesting dialogue back and forth, I guess you could put it. 0.61

00:03:02.000 What a great group.

00:03:03.000 Hey, everybody.

00:03:04.000 This is awesome.

00:03:05.000 Here we have a couple friends outside too that are protesting or whatever.

00:03:08.000 I wish they would have come in.

00:03:11.000 Yeah, well, it's actually unusually cold for this time of year, isn't it?

00:03:15.000 I just want to say I love Alabama.

00:03:16.000 It's awesome to be here.

00:03:17.000 And I've been here a couple times, and there's a lot we have to talk about tonight, but it's kind of a good day to be an American, isn't it?

00:03:27.000 I mean, geez, it's just after the last 24 hours, I kind of just feel as if there's some good things happening.

00:03:33.000 We're going to talk about that and so much more.

00:03:35.000 I just want to first say, do we have anyone here from Auburn?

00:03:37.000 If so, you're not allowed to be here.

00:03:38.000 I'm kidding.

00:03:39.000 No, I was told to do that by the turning point chapter.

00:03:44.000 I want to first say this is the last tour stop that we have on the road.

00:03:48.000 We're doing University of Arizona next week.

00:03:50.000 We added that.

00:03:51.000 But what better place to end our tour at the University of Alabama?

00:03:54.000 I want to thank all of our turning point leaders that work so hard promoting this event.

00:03:57.000 You guys are a great chapter, and you do a wonderful job.

00:04:00.000 Let's give it up for our turning point leaders.

00:04:01.000 They do such a great job.

00:04:03.000 And I also want to give it up for our amazing tech team, the Farnsworth brothers.

00:04:10.000 So we've been doing this across the country from everywhere you can imagine.

00:04:13.000 Vermont to University of Oregon, which I'm a big fan of, GoDucks.

00:04:18.000 We'll talk about that later.

00:04:19.000 By the way, we can all get along.

00:04:20.000 Alabama and University of Oregon are both currently in the college football playoff rankings.

00:04:25.000 We'll see what happens and what changes.

00:04:27.000 We can have a whole college football segment if you want, which I'll really start offending people because I won't tell you who I was cheering for in the AM game.

00:04:34.000 I won't.

00:04:35.000 It would be foolish to say that at this school, but I didn't tell you.

00:04:39.000 So, but no, we've been all across the country, Boise, Michigan, Minnesota.

00:04:44.000 And a lot of you, I'm sure a lot of you have caught some of the clips and some of the tapes of our tour, some of the interactions.

00:04:50.000 Well, there's a whole kind of behind-the-scenes crew that makes all that happen that goes across the country, gets here hours early.

00:04:57.000 They set up.

00:04:58.000 They have to deal with internet issues and all that.

00:05:00.000 And it's our amazing tech team.

00:05:01.000 If you guys listen to any of our podcasts when we speak, it's hard work to do that for many weeks on the road.

00:05:09.000 And millions of people are impacted by kind of them just dedicating themselves to go kind of be the support structure of a tour.

00:05:15.000 And they never get any thanks for that.

00:05:17.000 So let's just give it up for our amazing tech team these last couple of weeks.

00:05:20.000 They've been incredible.

00:05:21.000 They really have.

00:05:23.000 So the Farnsworth brothers, I'll tell you, they're great Americans.

00:05:27.000 So my goodness, there's a lot I want to go into tonight.

00:05:32.000 And a lot of it actually is Alabama-centric, which is going to be a lot of fun.

00:05:36.000 Let's just talk about the last 24 hours.

00:05:40.000 I'm going to talk about this, not even in political terms, because I just think that's a little bit sloppy and boring.

00:05:44.000 You guys could watch that other places.

00:05:46.000 I want to go a step further and deeper.

00:05:48.000 Some of you may or may not have saw the news last night, but all of a sudden, all the smart people on television are super confused why all of a sudden Americans are so angry about forced vaccinations, mask mandates, and kind of this, what we call on our show, the great woke lash, right?

00:06:04.000 Which is this backlash against the institutional wokeism that has been kind of pervading American society over the last couple, the last 18 months, and especially the last year.

00:06:17.000 And what we saw from all across the country, from Virginia to Seattle, we're going to go through all of it tonight.

00:06:22.000 And again, not in political terms, but just looking at it from a very factual standpoint of trying to analyze what's happening, people are more disgusted than ever than the people that are ruling them.

00:06:32.000 And there has never been a greater disconnect between the people that run the country and the people that make the country run, right?

00:06:39.000 So I kind of want to make that distinction.

00:06:41.000 Those are two totally different things.

00:06:43.000 And so there's this kind of common sense argument that a lot of people say, which is like, well, that goes against common sense.

00:06:50.000 You hear that all the time, right?

00:06:51.000 What does that actually mean?

00:06:52.000 Well, that means that using practical judgment or prudence, you know, in the Greek word prudentia, it would just say like, that wouldn't work in the job that I am doing.

00:07:01.000 So let's just pick any profession.

00:07:03.000 How about a truck driver, right?

00:07:05.000 Which is the center, the hero that I want to talk about tonight, which I think is going to be a lot of fun to share, which is, if you're a truck driver and you do one thing and you say one thing and you do another, you'll be fired from your job.

00:07:16.000 If you don't show up on time or you act in huge hypocrisy, you'll be fired from your job.

00:07:20.000 This is someone that would kind of be part of what I would call the muscular class in America.

00:07:25.000 So there's two types of economic classes in America. 0.95

00:07:28.000 And here, and by the way, one is not necessarily better than the other, right?

00:07:31.000 There's the muscular class and then there's the Zoom and Skype class, right?

00:07:36.000 So I'm part of the Zoom and Skype class, okay?

00:07:38.000 That doesn't make me a better person.

00:07:39.000 It just so happens I was able to keep on doing my work in the midst of the lockdown without having to lift boxes or wear a mask all day long.

00:07:47.000 But the people that actually run the country, which I think never got the credit they deserved, quite honestly, during the pandemic, are the people that worked at the Amazon fulfillment centers, the people that are our police officers, the people that are our firefighters, the people that actually drove trucks.

00:08:01.000 And instead, you saw this growing disconnect of the people in charge have this arrogance and this attitude, almost this top-down revolution, like, oh, you work with your hands.

00:08:12.000 You don't have a doctorate from Harvard. 1.00

00:08:14.000 You're dumb and you're stupid, right? 1.00

00:08:16.000 And so, but we saw this bubbling up in a variety of different ways. 1.00

00:08:20.000 And for those of us that look at this stuff really closely and are worried about these trends, we said, this is not sustainable.

00:08:25.000 You can't declare war on the people that actually make your country run and act as if there won't be a backlash against that, right?

00:08:32.000 It's like, yeah, just keep on serving me food, serfs and servants.

00:08:35.000 And we'd always make jokes about it.

00:08:37.000 You know, when Nancy Pelosi would be out in Napa Valley and all of her donor friends were maskless, right?

00:08:44.000 And every single person serving food outdoors were wearing masks, right?

00:08:48.000 And we saw that with Obama's birthday party in Martha's Vineyard, where, you know, we had to kind of watch all the videos of people that had to wear masks.

00:08:57.000 They're maskless, but they were a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.

00:09:00.000 Some people call it double standards or hypocrisy. 0.77

00:09:00.000 And we saw this. 0.77

00:09:03.000 It's not.

00:09:03.000 It's hierarchy.

00:09:04.000 It's people in charge that think they're actually better than you, right?

00:09:07.000 So hypocrisy is like if you actually believe the rule or you say it and you do something else, these are people that actually think they're at a different level of existence.

00:09:15.000 So the thing I want to start with tonight, though, and kind of really focus on is what happened last 24 hours.

00:09:21.000 And some of you might say, oh, Charlie, you're going to talk about the Virginia governor's race.

00:09:24.000 You're going to talk about how Seattle, they just elected a pro-police conservative Republican as head of their city attorney in Seattle.

00:09:32.000 Like, wow, that's shocking.

00:09:34.000 No, actually, I want to introduce all of you and our audience watching at home, thanks to our wonderful tech team, to one of the most unbelievable stories in the history of American politics.

00:09:46.000 And whether you're a liberal here tonight, and by the way, thank you for coming.

00:09:50.000 If you are on the left, I mean that non-sarcastically.

00:09:52.000 It says a lot to actually go hear about someone you might disagree with or hear those ideas because who knows what you're hearing on college campuses.

00:09:58.000 Alabama is great, right?

00:09:59.000 No liberals at Alabama, right?

00:10:00.000 It's just terrific.

00:10:01.000 Yeah.

00:10:01.000 See, there you go.

00:10:04.000 But no, this is what this, when I saw this story, did anyone watch the live stream last night that I was doing?

00:10:09.000 I don't think I've laughed that hard my entire life.

00:10:12.000 When I just saw this, I was flipping through social media and I couldn't control myself when I saw this story of this truck driver from southern New Jersey who spent $153 total dollars on his campaign.

00:10:29.000 $153.

00:10:32.000 And as of right now, the election's about to be called and certified.

00:10:36.000 He's about to beat the second most powerful person in New Jersey, the head of the Senate presidency in New Jersey by 2,000 votes, right?

00:10:45.000 And so you, and, and by the way, it isn't, this is not even about like Republican or Democrat.

00:10:52.000 It's not about any of that, right?

00:10:53.000 It's about, wait a second, timeout.

00:10:55.000 Like, what?

00:10:56.000 And so I did some digging into this, right?

00:10:59.000 I was like, okay, who is this guy, right?

00:11:00.000 Like, is he a son of Jeff Bezos?

00:11:03.000 Or like, you know, did he, is he part of the Rockefeller family or was he born with some sort of birthright?

00:11:09.000 And so you look at this guy and his name is Durr, right?

00:11:14.000 And yeah, you could laugh at the name, whatever.

00:11:17.000 But you, you look into it, it's like if you were to have central casting of like what the normal American was.

00:11:24.000 Now, some of you guys might not remember the 2000, was it 16 or 2012 presidential debates of that guy that wore that like red sweater?

00:11:34.000 Do you remember that?

00:11:36.000 Ken Bone, right?

00:11:37.000 Thank you.

00:11:38.000 You guys remember that?

00:11:39.000 It's before your time.

00:11:39.000 Maybe not.

00:11:41.000 It's like, I just want to give that guy a hug, right?

00:11:44.000 It's like, it's just, there's, there's nothing.

00:11:46.000 He just wants what's right for the world.

00:11:47.000 There's so few people like that anymore, it seems in public life.

00:11:51.000 And so, this guy at Durr decides to do the ultimate David and Goliath type exercise.

00:11:57.000 Now, I don't know how, I'm going to do my best to describe this to you.

00:12:00.000 The guy he was running against is the head of the Senate of New Jersey.

00:12:04.000 Okay, it's untouchable.

00:12:06.000 An example would be like if a random candidate decided to run up against Chuck Schumer, okay?

00:12:11.000 Like, that's just, or a random candidate would just be like, I'm gonna run against Nancy Pelosi.

00:12:15.000 This guy runs the state of New Jersey.

00:12:17.000 Now, he was, to give you an idea, he's been in elected office since 2004.

00:12:23.000 Some of you were born in 2004.

00:12:25.000 Okay.

00:12:25.000 I know that because I actually just talked to someone that was literally born in 2006, not even born.

00:12:30.000 And so this guy has run the state of New Jersey.

00:12:33.000 He runs the entire political apparatus and machine.

00:12:36.000 And so you start to look into it.

00:12:37.000 You're like, all right, how did this guy make it happen?

00:12:40.000 So you look at his campaign receipts.

00:12:41.000 You're like, did he get a big contribution from the pharmaceutical companies?

00:12:45.000 Spent $153, $85 of which was spent at Dunkin' Donuts.

00:12:49.000 And the remaining $70 was spent on flyers and materials.

00:12:55.000 And so they said, what was your grand strategy?

00:12:59.000 He's like, I just kind of showed up and asked people for their vote.

00:13:02.000 And so he was conducting an interview last night.

00:13:05.000 The first thing he said, he's like, I have no idea what's going on, right?

00:13:09.000 It's the first thing he says, like, but I did stay at a Holiday and Express last night.

00:13:12.000 But no, I'm kidding.

00:13:13.000 But all of a sudden, you read deeper into this.

00:13:16.000 And this is an important thing, is he ran because he was so disgusted and he was so upset that he, as a truck driver, continually kept this economy opening and keep going.

00:13:29.000 And he just felt continually insulted by the people in charge.

00:13:32.000 And so Durr, who didn't go to Harvard, who's a father of three, a grandfather of six, rides a Harley as an Eagles fan and is a truck driver, again, like central casting, right?

00:13:44.000 Like if you were to design like the middle class, like Joe the Plumber candidate, it's that guy.

00:13:50.000 It looks like he's going to displace the Senate president in New Jersey.

00:13:53.000 He's winning by 2,000 votes.

00:13:55.000 And so regardless of your political affiliation here tonight or whatever you view of it, there's got to be something where all of a sudden we take a timeout, right?

00:14:03.000 Like, wait a second, that's not normal.

00:14:06.000 And it's not even about conservative or liberal, right?

00:14:08.000 It's about people in charge versus people that are getting suppressed and people that are being crushed by the regime.

00:14:15.000 And it's this simple.

00:14:16.000 It's citizens versus subjects.

00:14:18.000 When you are all of a sudden having a campaign where you don't campaign, okay?

00:14:21.000 Dunkin' donuts and $75 for flyers.

00:14:23.000 That's not campaigning, okay?

00:14:25.000 In that district, to give you an idea of how competitive it was eight years ago, it was a $17 million race.

00:14:30.000 Now it's a $153 race, okay?

00:14:32.000 Goes from $17 million to $153.

00:14:35.000 What that should just send a massive message to every American out there is that the people, the voters themselves are willing to pull the five fire alarm fire and go through and say, I don't know who you are, but I'm sick of you saying that you have to mask my children while you get to go walk to whatever restaurant you want and have to wear a mask.

00:14:56.000 I'm sick of seeing my relatives that are police officers have to walk off the force because they don't want to take a vaccine for a virus they've already had two times.

00:15:04.000 I'm sick and tired of seeing my church get locked down while the licorice store remains open in southern New Jersey.

00:15:09.000 I'm sick and tired of seeing that every time I turn on television, Fauci's telling me that I'm a bad person because I don't want to take some sort of experimental vaccine.

00:15:18.000 And all of a sudden you saw this pressure cooker, right?

00:15:21.000 And thank goodness for the founding fathers and the framers for giving us this type of system, right?

00:15:26.000 Where the ultimate check and balance on power, the ultimate way that we're actually able to hold people in charge is by showing up in elections.

00:15:34.000 And so this guy has been doing some interviews.

00:15:37.000 They said, well, what's your agenda?

00:15:39.000 And he said, look, my agenda is very simple, right?

00:15:41.000 I just want people like me to have a voice.

00:15:44.000 And again, this is not like a new thing in politics, right?

00:15:48.000 But it's never been so bad.

00:15:50.000 It's never been so bad and so exaggerated.

00:15:53.000 And what this was showed me last night is that the very same type of behavior that people engaged in in 2016 when Donald Trump got elected has not stopped, which is this.

00:16:03.000 Voters are trying to get their leaders' attention.

00:16:05.000 They are willing to go vote for the truck driver over the Senate president.

00:16:09.000 It's like, will you please start listening to us and start representing us?

00:16:13.000 And that's regardless of political affiliation.

00:16:16.000 And so, and again, it goes to this divide of the people that run the country and the people that make the country run.

00:16:23.000 And so if you're able to do that, there's a couple different things I want to just focus on with the Ed Durh story.

00:16:28.000 Number one, if anyone here or watching online is in a heavy liberal area and you're like, oh, there's nothing I could do about it.

00:16:34.000 Like, no, that's not true.

00:16:36.000 If you can win and displace the second most powerful person in New Jersey, the $153, half of which being spent on Dunkin' Donuts, which is an unbelievably suspicious amount of money being spent to Dunkin' Donuts, by the way, like $83, like, what are you buying?

00:16:49.000 Right.

00:16:51.000 Then every single person in this room and watching online, you can make a difference.

00:16:55.000 Like you can turn your community, you can turn your campus in a direction that other people would never have expected.

00:17:01.000 But the other thing that I think is so incredibly important is that he decided to do something about it.

00:17:06.000 And this is another thing is that he didn't just want to sit idly by and be a spectator and kind of just be a participant, right?

00:17:13.000 He's like, no, I got to get in the arena myself.

00:17:16.000 And that is one of the things that makes America so different and so unique is that we have a participatory system that allows us to actually engage ourselves.

00:17:25.000 For example, you don't like something, go fix it yourself.

00:17:27.000 And what's so amazing is he was telling this story.

00:17:29.000 He's like, yeah, all my family and friends were laughing at me.

00:17:32.000 They were mocking me.

00:17:33.000 They were ridiculing me, being like, you're never going to win.

00:17:36.000 And he's like, the last couple of weeks of the campaign, all I did was I called my mom and she just said, I'm praying for you every morning and you're going to win.

00:17:44.000 And it's like this story where it's like, wow, that is not, that's a glitch in the actual political matrix of the country.

00:17:53.000 And I think this is only growing, by the way.

00:17:56.000 I think that what we saw in the last week is a revival of the American citizen.

00:18:01.000 And we're all of a sudden to see the kind rejection of there's nothing I can do.

00:18:06.000 I just have to sit idly by.

00:18:08.000 You know, things are going to stay as they are.

00:18:10.000 And instead, the exact opposite.

00:18:12.000 But I want to move on to this other one that I think is super interesting and important, which is this question of what is the ruling class?

00:18:19.000 Because you're going to hear me kind of talk about this a lot, which is we have a group of people in our country that have been not elected, that have been unaccountable for far too long.

00:18:31.000 The best example of this is someone, if you're a young person, he has impacted your life significantly that never should have had as much power as he had, Fauci.

00:18:40.000 Fauci should be in prison, not the head of NIH, first of all, for everything he's done against our country.

00:18:47.000 But this is someone that is in an extra constitutional position in our country.

00:18:53.000 This is someone that people did not go vote for.

00:18:56.000 This is someone who is largely unaccountable.

00:18:58.000 He was unknown, and he has unchecked and unlimited power.

00:19:01.000 To be able to say that we need to go force vaccines on people against their will.

00:19:07.000 Now, let me just talk about the vaccine for a second.

00:19:08.000 I don't care if you got vaccinated.

00:19:10.000 Do they force it at University of Alabama or do they just strongly recommend it?

00:19:13.000 Strongly recommend it.

00:19:14.000 Well, that's better than most than most schools.

00:19:14.000 Yeah.

00:19:19.000 Employees were forced.

00:19:20.000 Medical exemptions allowed and religious. 0.51

00:19:22.000 There's a couple.

00:19:23.000 Okay, that's good.

00:19:24.000 So I want to just say you guys have a much better situation than most schools.

00:19:27.000 Some schools, they're kicking students out of schools across the country.

00:19:31.000 So you guys should be very thankful that in Alabama that if that's your medical decision you want to make, then so be it, right?

00:19:37.000 But again, I'm not going to talk, if you guys want to talk about the vaccine, that's fine.

00:19:40.000 I don't care.

00:19:40.000 I'm not getting the vaccine and I'm going to fight to the death to make sure that no one's going to force get the vaccine against their will.

00:19:45.000 And so simple, simple medical choice issue, right?

00:19:49.000 Especially if you've already had the virus before, naturally immunized.

00:19:52.000 But I think beyond that, how Fauci and the corrupt interests around him have been so effective at suppressing any sort of conversation around azithromycin, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, monoclonal antibodies, and aspirin.

00:20:10.000 And it might not be for you, right?

00:20:11.000 These things might not be things that you might be interested in, or, you know, I don't want to hear about it.

00:20:16.000 Fine.

00:20:16.000 The fact you're not even allowed to talk about it online, the fact that there is this top-down censorship campaign is really creepy.

00:20:24.000 And we're talking about something that has now shown to help certain people that have been diagnosed with this.

00:20:30.000 So you think to yourself, wait a second, we locked down our country for nearly a year.

00:20:34.000 We canceled school altogether at most parts of the country.

00:20:37.000 We shut down the church.

00:20:38.000 We forced masks on people, which is dehumanizing in nature, by the way.

00:20:43.000 And I believe that masking children is child abuse, pure and simple.

00:20:47.000 I think when you try to put a four-year-old with a mask for a virus, they're not at a significant risk of dying from, I think it's total, complete child abuse.

00:20:54.000 And it creates them, it stunts their development altogether.

00:20:57.000 And by the way, just so you know, that if a child were to ride in the car to this event, as there's a couple here tonight, they're at far greater risk in the car ride over to this event than from catching and dying from the Fauci virus, right?

00:21:08.000 Far greater, like 20 times higher risk.

00:21:10.000 But no, that would be way too prudent and way too common sense to talk about.

00:21:14.000 Instead, at a deeper and more fundamental level, most of these decisions from the public health side of it were made without your consent.

00:21:23.000 And it's a violation of the consent of the governed.

00:21:25.000 And so that's kind of goes back to what I just talked about with Mr. Durr in New Jersey: is that people feel like, what else am I supposed to do to get your attention?

00:21:34.000 Because you've been using government force.

00:21:36.000 You've been using force to micromanage my life for the last year and a half, and I'm not going to put up with it anymore.

00:21:42.000 And I just want to say that young people in particular, and this is why I'm so excited about Turning Point USA, is that if you want to say, this is what it's kind of shocking about kind of the people on the left, like, yeah, we're the rebels.

00:21:52.000 Like, yeah, right, sure.

00:21:53.000 It's like, if there's any demographic that should be pushing against lockdowns and vaccine mandates, it should be high school and college kids.

00:22:00.000 I mean, in some ways, it's just so funny to see the people that are like protesting for systemic change in our country.

00:22:07.000 And then all of a sudden they're like, you better get the vaccine and listen to everything that you are told or else you're a terrible person.

00:22:12.000 I'm like, where's the fighting spirit now when they want to go put a jab in your arm for something that has questionable outputs at best?

00:22:20.000 And it really kind of does go to this question that I think that's really important is who's in charge, which is who's actually in charge of our country.

00:22:31.000 And it should be you.

00:22:32.000 It should be the citizens, right?

00:22:34.000 Citizen comes from a Greek word, which means co-ruler or equal say in the government.

00:22:39.000 And the government should be a project of, by, and for the people.

00:22:43.000 And again, I'm not saying that there isn't a place for rulers, obviously.

00:22:48.000 I'm not saying that we should get rid of all the rulers.

00:22:50.000 That would be something that someone on the radical left would say.

00:22:53.000 I said, we need better rulers.

00:22:54.000 We need rulers more like Ron DeSantis and less like Anthony Fauci.

00:23:02.000 The real estate market is extremely hot right now.

00:23:04.000 People are taking advantage of low interest rates and economic uncertainty by investing in real assets.

00:23:09.000 Whether you are a first-time buyer or just looking to make a change, the key is to getting the property you want is being pre-qualified and having cash in hand.

00:23:16.000 That's why you guys, all of us, myself included, I had to stop doing this.

00:23:20.000 I had to stop using the big banks.

00:23:22.000 I used a big bank for a loan previously.

00:23:24.000 It was a disaster.

00:23:25.000 It took forever.

00:23:26.000 Not to mention, I go look at their score on secondvote.com.

00:23:29.000 Like, wow, my loan helped fund abortions. 0.71

00:23:32.000 BLM Incorporated, burning down of Wendy's, the destruction of our society. 0.92

00:23:36.000 I'm done with it. 1.00

00:23:37.000 Then I met Andrew and Todd, Andrew Del Ray and Todd of Akien, who become great friends of mine, AndrewandTodd.com.

00:23:43.000 They are with Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:23:45.000 My producer, Andrew, he's working with them right now, and he tells me they are part counselors, part financial planners, and they're really helping them.

00:23:51.000 And I'm about to use them for something.

00:23:52.000 I've been so impressed by them.

00:23:54.000 But they are bankers, not brokers.

00:23:56.000 That means that they can start and help you.

00:23:58.000 They can help you start to finish.

00:23:59.000 But quite honestly, let's divest and take all of our money out of these woke banks.

00:24:04.000 So maybe you're buying a new home.

00:24:05.000 Maybe you're refinancing.

00:24:06.000 Whatever process you're going through, just fill out a couple of simple questions online at andrewandodd.com.

00:24:12.000 They can assess your situation right over the phone.

00:24:13.000 Go to AndrewandTodd.com or call 8888 1172.

00:24:16.000 That's AAA 888 1172.

00:24:18.000 Even if you have a friend who's buying a home, I'm sure every single person knows someone that's buying a home.

00:24:22.000 Just put your arm around them and say, hey, go to Andrewandodd.com.

00:24:24.000 Charlie Kirk speaks favorably of them.

00:24:27.000 Here's what I can guarantee you with AndrewandTodd.com.

00:24:29.000 Zero of the proceeds will go to fund abortion.

00:24:34.000 Zero will go to fund BLM. 0.76

00:24:36.000 Zero will go to fund the woke industrial complex instead.

00:24:39.000 Andrew and Todd, they support shows like ours.

00:24:42.000 They want to help patriots, Christians, and people that love their country and love the Lord take out loans and do it correctly.

00:24:49.000 So go to AndrewandTodd.com, call 888 888 1172.

00:24:53.000 That's 888 888 1172.

00:24:55.000 AndrewandTodd.com.

00:24:57.000 Support the good guys and stop supporting companies and banks that hate you.

00:25:02.000 The banks have waged war on our values.

00:25:04.000 Time to say Sayonara via Candillos.

00:25:07.000 Alvita Sane.

00:25:08.000 I'll be going to andrewandodd.com.

00:25:13.000 There's this dilemma that I think is in front of us right now that I think is really important.

00:25:19.000 And the dilemma, I think last night actually kind of explained it really well, is what do we do about the things we're not allowed to talk about?

00:25:28.000 And that's one of the things I want to talk about.

00:25:30.000 Like, what do you do about the things that are thought crimes, right?

00:25:33.000 And this is what's so great about elections is that you're able to do it in privately, or else you're supposed to be able to do it in privately, right?

00:25:40.000 Which this is why we named our entire tour, what we did, which is critical racism tour or critical race theory.

00:25:46.000 And I don't need to dwell on this too much.

00:25:47.000 I know a lot of you have seen plenty of videos on this from us.

00:25:51.000 But pure and simple, we did this tour because diversity, equity, inclusion, wokeism, whatever you want to call it, seeping into every single portion of American life is threatening every single young person's future.

00:26:05.000 And so what is it?

00:26:06.000 So CRT, it's an academic theory that's not just an academic theory.

00:26:11.000 It's now in every single form of American life, from academics to military to corporate.

00:26:17.000 And I'll prove to just some examples in front of you, which it is a basis of trying to say we are going to judge, we are going to stereotype, we're going to organize people based on the color of their skin.

00:26:27.000 And super simply put, it's saying that things you cannot change are more important than things you can change, right?

00:26:33.000 Saying that your skin color is super important.

00:26:36.000 Let me boil it down even easier to you.

00:26:38.000 75 schools across the country have black-only dormitories. 0.57

00:26:42.000 75 schools across the country where they say we are going to have dormitories for white people and dormitories for black people.

00:26:50.000 Explain to me how that is not resegregation at Jim Crow 2.0.

00:26:54.000 Well, it is.

00:26:54.000 It's racism.

00:26:55.000 You don't have to overcomplicate it.

00:26:57.000 And anyone who defends it is a racist.

00:26:59.000 And so now we have the reemergence of American racism under this veiled cloak of wokeism.

00:27:04.000 At Columbia University, they have black-only graduation ceremonies.

00:27:08.000 I mean, I was always raised in a country you were too that if you judge people based on the color of their skin, you're a racist.

00:27:14.000 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:27:15.000 You're not allowed to walk in this graduation ceremony because you have a different melanin content coloring your skin. 0.99

00:27:20.000 Yes, that's ridiculous. 0.99

00:27:21.000 You don't have to overthink it. 0.98

00:27:22.000 I don't have to give an hour and a half lecture on why that's wrong.

00:27:24.000 It's racist and it's bigoted, but it's happening everywhere.

00:27:27.000 I'll give you another example. 0.86

00:27:28.000 Western Washington University, black-only dormitories. 0.99

00:27:30.000 In Georgia, anyone from Georgia, the great state of Georgia, Atlanta, they are now putting in sixth grade, in sixth grade courses, go braves. 0.85

00:27:38.000 That's good, I saw that.

00:27:39.000 I was so thrilled to see that.

00:27:40.000 Not an Astros fan, don't mean to offend anybody.

00:27:43.000 But so the, it's funny, I get more people are offended by my sports takes, by the way, than my political takes.

00:27:49.000 No, it's a real thing, by the way.

00:27:50.000 It's very real.

00:27:53.000 Georgia, Atlanta, sixth graders, black sixth graders go to one classroom, black, white, sixth graders go to another classroom.

00:28:00.000 Georgia public schools, Atlanta public schools.

00:28:03.000 You can look it up yourself.

00:28:03.000 Same thing in San Diego.

00:28:05.000 You might say, well, Charlie, what could possibly be the reason? 0.56

00:28:07.000 They say that black students are threatened by white students, and therefore they want to have black-only learning environments, black-only dormitories, black-only cultural centers. 0.98

00:28:17.000 It's nonsense. 0.88

00:28:18.000 In fact, you are teaching racism to a generation that, quite honestly, was on pace to be the least racist generation in American history. 0.74

00:28:26.000 But now we're raising many racists.

00:28:28.000 And we are overemphasizing on such a great degree something that I couldn't care less about.

00:28:32.000 I don't care about the color of your skin.

00:28:34.000 I care about your actions.

00:28:35.000 I care about your character.

00:28:37.000 I care about your soul and your spirit. 0.99

00:28:39.000 Your skin color is irrelevant to me. 0.95

00:28:41.000 That is a sloppy, lazy, and dare I say pernicious and evil way to judge people, regardless if you're judging people if they're white or if they're black or anywhere in between. 1.00

00:28:55.000 I think that's CJ. 0.55

00:28:56.000 How are you doing, CJ?

00:28:57.000 Good to see you.

00:28:57.000 You're doing a great job.

00:28:58.000 Real tight.

00:28:59.000 CJ is a friend of mine.

00:29:00.000 He does a great job.

00:29:01.000 And you go here, right?

00:29:02.000 Yeah, it's awesome.

00:29:04.000 You should ask a question later.

00:29:05.000 And so, and if you guys don't know CJ, you should.

00:29:09.000 He does a great job.

00:29:10.000 And big social media following, too.

00:29:12.000 Very impressive.

00:29:13.000 And you've been fighting against DRT too, right?

00:29:15.000 Big time.

00:29:15.000 Non-stop, right?

00:29:17.000 Yeah, it's phenomenal.

00:29:19.000 CJ Pearson, he's great.

00:29:20.000 You guys should all get to know him.

00:29:23.000 This is a very serious problem.

00:29:25.000 And so last night, though, was a chapter in America rejecting all these ideas.

00:29:33.000 And that's one of the, that's how significant this is, right?

00:29:36.000 Which is, okay, like, whatever.

00:29:39.000 I might not agree with the right on abortion or guns.

00:29:42.000 We can talk about all that tonight if you want.

00:29:43.000 Might not agree with that.

00:29:45.000 But all of a sudden, when you are telling my sixth grader that they're a bad person based on the color of their skin, that because they're a white person in the anti-kind of white push, like that's, that's enough.

00:29:56.000 Like, I'm not going to put up with that.

00:29:57.000 And you saw that all across the country.

00:30:00.000 Now, this is not just bad hiring practices.

00:30:05.000 It's not just dormitories.

00:30:06.000 It's not just graduation ceremonies.

00:30:08.000 It has also impacted policing policy.

00:30:12.000 And first of all, police, they're modern day heroes.

00:30:15.000 They get the worst rap of any major organization in the country.

00:30:19.000 Generally, police officers do a phenomenal job and they keep all of us safe in ways we don't even recognize or understand.

00:30:25.000 And even the most anti-police activist, they'll be quick to go pick up the phone and dial 911 if there's someone coming through the window trying to kill them.

00:30:33.000 That every one of those activists will be like, well, why aren't you guarding me at this time?

00:30:38.000 And here's the thing.

00:30:38.000 I could talk about police statistics and how convoluted they are and how upside down they are and this big lie of where people say, oh, yeah, you can't walk the street as a black person in this country getting shot.

00:30:47.000 It's nonsense. 0.85

00:30:48.000 There's no data to support it.

00:30:50.000 But what you see is in cities like Austin, Texas, when all of a sudden you have a war on police, the murder rate is up 80%.

00:30:57.000 80%.

00:30:59.000 In Minneapolis, crime was up 40%.

00:31:01.000 But here's the amazing thing.

00:31:03.000 What happened last night?

00:31:04.000 75% of voters in Minneapolis rejected the defunding of the Minneapolis police.

00:31:09.000 75% of Minneapolis voters.

00:31:13.000 And so, and Seattle, everybody, just elected a city attorney who is super law and order, wants to restore funding to the police.

00:31:23.000 Do you guys remember last summer when the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone was created?

00:31:27.000 Chaz, right? 0.63

00:31:28.000 Like a new country.

00:31:30.000 Yeah, most people, and it's true, it's like a new sovereign country in America, sure.

00:31:36.000 Now we're seeing people push back against it.

00:31:38.000 But the reason we're doing a tour as it is, as this being our last stop on the road outside of the one we're doing in Arizona, which is it's very simple and very clear, which is that these bad ideas don't just, you know, kind of make you a little bit confused.

00:31:52.000 They're not just like, oh, that doesn't make any sense.

00:31:54.000 Like, oh, that's racist.

00:31:55.000 No, it's making America a much more dangerous place to live.

00:31:58.000 Is that then all of a sudden you allow these untruths and these lies to be implemented?

00:32:03.000 All of a sudden, it's like, oh, yeah, who needs the police anymore?

00:32:06.000 Then innocent people all of a sudden start to get harmed.

00:32:08.000 And so that's the reason we named the tour what we did and why we're why we're kind of on this on this ambitious, I guess you could say, crisscrossing the country talking about it.

00:32:19.000 So there's a couple more things I want to talk about.

00:32:21.000 Then I want to do some questions because that's the most fun.

00:32:23.000 And I want to hear from you guys kind of what's happening.

00:32:25.000 A couple things.

00:32:27.000 I really want to talk about fraternities and sororities because I know that's a big deal here in the South.

00:32:31.000 Am I right?

00:32:32.000 Is that a big deal here?

00:32:33.000 Big.

00:32:34.000 Someone boo?

00:32:35.000 That's not right.

00:32:37.000 So, well, let me say two things.

00:32:39.000 Number one, let me talk about the South.

00:32:41.000 I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, and many of you know this.

00:32:44.000 Anyone from Chicago?

00:32:46.000 Yeah, one person.

00:32:47.000 That's awesome.

00:32:49.000 So, oh, I'm sorry.

00:32:50.000 Jeez.

00:32:50.000 Wow.

00:32:51.000 Okay.

00:32:52.000 Say something next time.

00:32:53.000 There you go.

00:32:54.000 So, yeah.

00:32:55.000 So you guys might agree with this or disagree, but at least where I was raised, and it was always kind of not so subtle from teachers and from people in my community, there was this arrogance of being in the North that you're better than the South, right?

00:33:09.000 And that there is kind of this, and people in the South have no idea that they're, they're like, what?

00:33:14.000 I never knew that.

00:33:14.000 Like, sometimes it's kind of like a memo that people north of the Mason-Dixon line look down on the attitude, the accent, the history of the South.

00:33:25.000 And this is best kind of manifested in Northerners, me being one, now living in Arizona, which is neither, I don't know what it is, Southwest, I guess, wanting to remove monuments.

00:33:38.000 And I've always been so disgusted by the removal of monuments for a variety of different reasons.

00:33:43.000 And people say, well, Charlie, what do you support slavery? 0.96

00:33:45.000 I'm like, that's such a ridiculous argument, obviously.

00:33:47.000 No, I support allowing certain areas to commemorate things that happen in the way they see fit. 0.61

00:33:53.000 And maybe that's a statue to say we never want to have that civil war happen again.

00:33:56.000 Maybe that's a statue that says we're going to remember the sacrifice of our fellow countrymen and people that we knew and people that are, you know, that we were related to.

00:34:05.000 And we have it there for a reason.

00:34:06.000 The removal of history actually creates radicalism.

00:34:09.000 The removal of history creates more radical people.

00:34:15.000 And sometimes history can anchor you.

00:34:17.000 It could sober you.

00:34:19.000 It could create discussions.

00:34:20.000 But when you remove it altogether, that is an arrogance that I think is imposing in an imperialist mindset of people that do not live here all of a sudden telling people in Alabama and Mississippi, we're better than you.

00:34:31.000 You don't understand.

00:34:32.000 We're richer than you.

00:34:33.000 We're smarter than you.

00:34:34.000 And you think, you might not know it's that explicit.

00:34:36.000 It is that explicit by a lot of people in the North.

00:34:38.000 They won't say it.

00:34:39.000 They won't say it out loud.

00:34:40.000 They'll pretend it doesn't exist.

00:34:42.000 They have contempt for people south of the Mason-Dixon line.

00:34:44.000 And let me tell you why I think this is ultimately beyond disgusting.

00:34:48.000 You know who serves in our wars disproportionately?

00:34:50.000 Seven states comprise 44%.

00:34:54.000 Seven states comprise 44% of the U.S. military.

00:34:57.000 Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.

00:35:04.000 I think that's seven.

00:35:05.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:35:05.000 That's right near there.

00:35:06.000 Seven states right in this part of the world, whenever there's a war or conflict, this part of the country rises up a lot more than people from Manhattan to go defend their freedoms.

00:35:15.000 And so excuse me when all of a sudden I start to say, hold on a second.

00:35:19.000 Like, you're now going to come parachute in like random lawyer from San Francisco who's never done anything meaningful or heroic in your life to go tell the people of Birmingham or Huntsville or Tupelo or from, you know, any, you know, Jackson, Mississippi, or Athens, Georgia.

00:35:40.000 Like, no, no, no, you got to go take down the statue.

00:35:43.000 Like, meanwhile, one in five homes in some of those communities are sending one of their sons to go die in a war so that you can remain free.

00:35:52.000 And that's a big deal.

00:35:54.000 And the South never gets credit for that.

00:35:56.000 Instead, the South gets app, it is something that is a nonstop propaganda campaign.

00:36:01.000 And I got to be careful the way I say this because the media is so unbelievably dishonest.

00:36:06.000 You know, it's unbelievable.

00:36:07.000 There's kind of this thing where like people from the South are now afraid to be proud of the South.

00:36:11.000 That's a real thing.

00:36:12.000 We're going to like, oh, it's white supremacy.

00:36:14.000 It's like, no, it's not. 1.00

00:36:15.000 It's garbage. 1.00

00:36:16.000 Like, be proud of where you're from. 1.00

00:36:17.000 Everyone should be.

00:36:18.000 Be honest about what happened where you're from, obviously.

00:36:20.000 I'm not trying to say you should forget it or erase it.

00:36:23.000 But this part of the country in World War II, yeah, there was a disproportionate of people running into voluntary service to go storm Normandy Beach.

00:36:32.000 That's a big deal.

00:36:33.000 This part of the country that rose in record numbers after 9-11, disproportionate service.

00:36:40.000 And I could go on and on and on, but there is this intentional campaign to have people from the South, and I mean all people of all backgrounds and all different races, to all of a sudden kind of submit to an Eastern metropolitan political agenda.

00:36:55.000 To be like, okay, you're right.

00:36:56.000 You know, this part of the world, we're awful, we're terrible, we're bigoted, even though no one in this room was even remotely even close to being alive when the injustices they're expressing happened.

00:37:06.000 Is that you are many generations removed from that?

00:37:09.000 Many of you.

00:37:09.000 And some of you didn't even, some of you have parents that moved down here from other parts of the region.

00:37:13.000 Now, why is it important that I'm saying this?

00:37:15.000 Is that there is a regional conflict happening in our country right now.

00:37:18.000 And the regional conflict comes from San Francisco and Manhattan and Chicago and Portland and Seattle and Boston and Washington, D.C.

00:37:26.000 And this part of the country, they are trying to get to conform and they want to have everyone kind of go on this nonstop apology tour for things you didn't do for people that you might not even be related to.

00:37:38.000 And so, but, and yet they in San Francisco, they're the ones that are like anti-racist or the ones in Portland or in Western Washington, and they have black-only dormitories.

00:37:50.000 Last I checked, University of Alabama doesn't have black-only dormitories.

00:37:53.000 In fact, if they did, it would be racist.

00:37:55.000 And so you think to yourself like, oh, that's kind of weird.

00:37:56.000 Which is the one that's actually implementing Jim Crow 2.0?

00:37:59.000 Is it the fine people in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, or the bigots at Columbia University that have black-only graduation ceremonies?

00:38:05.000 Who's the one that's actually talking about race all the time?

00:38:05.000 That's funny.

00:38:08.000 And so I always feel compelled to talk about this whenever I visit in the South.

00:38:11.000 And I say this again, as someone who didn't grow up here, you can obviously tell by, you know, my accent.

00:38:15.000 I don't think I have an accent.

00:38:16.000 I think you guys have an accent.

00:38:17.000 We could talk about that later.

00:38:18.000 Okay.

00:38:19.000 But anyway, that's just the way the world works is you should be understanding and you should be proud of where you come from.

00:38:27.000 You should know about it.

00:38:28.000 You should know the history.

00:38:30.000 You should know the context.

00:38:31.000 You should know the nuance.

00:38:32.000 Do not defend the indefensible.

00:38:34.000 Obviously, some reporter is going to say something out of context.

00:38:37.000 That would be outrageous.

00:38:38.000 Instead, understand the whole arc of your region.

00:38:42.000 The lack of that all of a sudden will deteriorate the beautiful things of the South. 1.00

00:38:47.000 How about the Christian-centered culture of the South?

00:38:50.000 The family-centered culture of the South? 1.00

00:38:53.000 How about the grittiness, the ruggedness, the connectivity, the community?

00:38:57.000 These are things that are totally lacking in other parts of the country that the South is excelling at.

00:39:02.000 The South does that better than anywhere else.

00:39:03.000 You call it Southern Hospitality is kind of like a joke, right?

00:39:06.000 That's a big deal.

00:39:07.000 It is.

00:39:08.000 You go to San Francisco, no such thing.

00:39:11.000 You're like, well, and you're like, I mean, I have like San Francisco hospitality.

00:39:14.000 I've never heard of that before, okay?

00:39:15.000 For like San Francisco defecation, but like if that's their version of hospitality, then like, I don't know.

00:39:22.000 Um, but yeah, I guess I don't have to dwell on this too much.

00:39:26.000 You guys can feel free to disagree.

00:39:28.000 Don't hate yourself.

00:39:29.000 That's the that's the bottom line.

00:39:31.000 It's a bad existence.

00:39:32.000 Don't allow people to hate things you have not hate things about yourself you have not done. 0.99

00:39:37.000 Now, if you participated in this and you're like an awful, terrible, evil racist, then I got a whole different speech for you. 0.92

00:39:42.000 And you got to go find Jesus Christ, and you got a lot of people to forgive. 0.98

00:39:45.000 A lot of people that you have to ask forgiveness for, right?

00:39:47.000 A lot.

00:39:48.000 But if you are a 20-year-old who lives in Alabama and you're from Huntsville and you've been told now from every single person that you have to go on this non-stop life cycle of just destroying and abolishing everything came before you, that's awful.

00:40:02.000 It's terrible.

00:40:03.000 And it's not the right way to live.

00:40:04.000 Okay, let me talk about fraternities.

00:40:06.000 So, which is kind of connected, right?

00:40:10.000 I'm told fraternities and sororities are a big deal here, which, by the way, I know they're a big deal because I just drove by these mega palaces that call themselves fraternities and sororities.

00:40:21.000 My goodness.

00:40:22.000 I mean, it would make the ancient Greeks, you know, stop and shock.

00:40:27.000 You'd have Aristotle, Socrates, Plato.

00:40:29.000 Like, wow, that's really impressive.

00:40:31.000 So, yes.

00:40:34.000 Front page of the Washington Post.

00:40:35.000 Anyone ever see this article in the last week?

00:40:37.000 Because it's coming here to Alabama soon.

00:40:39.000 It's time to abolish college fraternities.

00:40:41.000 This is the front page of the Washington Post, right?

00:40:42.000 I'm going to read directly from it.

00:40:44.000 If you associate fraternities with sexual assault and harassment, you're not stereotyping, you're paying attention.

00:40:50.000 A 2019 report sums it up.

00:40:52.000 Research on fraternity men has continuously found that they are much more likely to commit sexual violence than men not in fraternities.

00:40:58.000 More than three times as likely, even though, as one study showed, their prior history.

00:41:01.000 So, what's responsible for the increase?

00:41:03.000 According to the report, quote, it appeared to be fraternity culture itself.

00:41:06.000 As with mass shootings or deaths of black Americans in the hands of police, and the public gets outraged.

00:41:11.000 And when I read this, I said, okay, that's your data point.

00:41:13.000 The thing that's so easy to debunk of 30 unarmed black Americans in the course of two years were killed by police officers, many of whom were grabbing for the gun or trying to run them over with their car.

00:41:21.000 Anyway, we could talk about that at a different time.

00:41:23.000 They say, it continues by saying, but unlike with gun violence and racist policing, yeah, totally unbiased author, right?

00:41:28.000 A single determined institution can abolish the problem.

00:41:31.000 Without fraternities, the Washington Post says, life is much better. 0.85

00:41:35.000 Quote, women can go wherever they want to go. 1.00

00:41:40.000 It's the Washington Post.

00:41:42.000 It's deep.

00:41:43.000 It's profound.

00:41:46.000 No, this is a real story.

00:41:49.000 You can look it up yourself.

00:41:50.000 Washington Post.

00:41:51.000 It's time to abolish college fraternities.

00:41:53.000 Now, that definitely got the crowd worked up for good reason.

00:41:59.000 Why do they hate fraternities and sororities?

00:42:01.000 Oh, I'm really going to make headlines with this one.

00:42:03.000 I can't wait.

00:42:05.000 Well, first of all, they last and they were there.

00:42:08.000 They've been around for a while.

00:42:10.000 They don't like anything that is old.

00:42:12.000 Things that are old deserve pause and you should study them and understand why they've lasted.

00:42:18.000 Having things to last is hard.

00:42:21.000 It's very hard to make things last.

00:42:24.000 It's easy to tear things down.

00:42:25.000 It takes no skill to go tear down a statue.

00:42:28.000 Zero.

00:42:29.000 It takes skill to live a life worthy of putting up a new statue.

00:42:33.000 That's a big deal.

00:42:35.000 And instead of trying to have people stop and pause with wisdom and say, huh, why would what good could come out of fraternities?

00:42:43.000 Such as friendships for a lifetime, trying to create better men, social circles, all these different things.

00:42:48.000 Not to mention, fraternities tend to be the most patriotic, conservative communities on campus.

00:42:53.000 That's the real reason they want to get rid of them, by the way.

00:42:56.000 And is that, and it's part of this entire agenda of a war on men.

00:43:03.000 We know that, obviously.

00:43:04.000 The emasculation of the American male. 0.59

00:43:07.000 And this recent op-ed in the Washington Post is like, I know, if any of you wrote the way that these authors write in the Washington Post, I would think that your professors would fail you out.

00:43:17.000 Instead, it's without fraternities, life is much better.

00:43:20.000 Women can go wherever they want. 1.00

00:43:21.000 Imagine that.

00:43:22.000 It's like you write like this.

00:43:23.000 It's like a, it's, as if someone would write on Tumblr.

00:43:27.000 I don't know if people write on Tumblr or not, but like, it doesn't even make sense.

00:43:31.000 But it kind of goes to this question of, and it's going to come here eventually.

00:43:36.000 I don't think it's going to have much success at the University of Alabama, right?

00:43:39.000 But the point is this, is that you have to understand that there is an all-out assault on things that have lasted, right?

00:43:46.000 And it started with monuments, and now you have op-eds that are saying get rid of fraternities and sororities.

00:43:52.000 Well, not yet sororities, just fraternities, right?

00:43:54.000 But I'm sure sororities are part of it, which is they also don't like how autonomous fraternities are.

00:43:59.000 This is another thing.

00:44:00.000 They don't like that they're able to operate and exist outside of the university structure, right?

00:44:05.000 They don't like that they have their own elections, that they have their own leadership structure.

00:44:09.000 A lot of time they're able to raise their own money, and they also have their own accountability structure.

00:44:14.000 And here's what bothers me about this story.

00:44:16.000 It's as if only the only people that do bad things are from fraternities. 0.81

00:44:21.000 That's complete and total nonsense.

00:44:22.000 We know that's not true, right?

00:44:23.000 The question is, what has the Greek system done for the country? 0.88

00:44:26.000 The answer is a lot.

00:44:28.000 The answer is that some of the top innovators, leaders, risk takers, entrepreneurs have come out of the American Greek system, is that it's created phenomenal leaders.

00:44:37.000 And I will tell you this, that schools that have gotten rid of their Greek system, they become miserable places. 0.57

00:44:42.000 They do.

00:44:43.000 Schools that have totally abolished their fraternities or sororities, mainly IE League schools that have kicked them off campus, all of a sudden you start to have, especially fraternities, men that become even further directionless.

00:44:56.000 Fraternities, for some men, give them purpose, give them direction, and give them accountability at a stage in life where they need it the most.

00:45:03.000 They hate that.

00:45:04.000 They would rather have them go to some college administrator, to some sort of, I don't know, diversity, equity, inclusion seminar to go find purpose and meeting.

00:45:12.000 No one says like, no, you're going to show up at the fraternity.

00:45:14.000 You have a job to do.

00:45:15.000 Like, here's the hierarchy.

00:45:16.000 You're going to have to wait a couple of years to climb up that ladder.

00:45:19.000 If you do your job, then you will be rewarded.

00:45:21.000 That's called a meritocracy.

00:45:22.000 That's how life works.

00:45:24.000 Now, I could tell you that there is a significant difference in the private sector of people that were heavily involved in their fraternity and people who were not.

00:45:31.000 I'm not saying they're better.

00:45:32.000 I'm not saying that there's some sort of like, this is an exact rule, but I say the same for sororities as well.

00:45:38.000 And not to mention, it also solves one of the key problems on college campuses, like, how do you meet people, right?

00:45:43.000 Well, that's probably pretty important.

00:45:46.000 And so, but the final thing I'll say on this, which is super important because it ties all together, is it instills values that the left hates, community, unity, brotherhood, and responsibility, is they hate those things.

00:46:00.000 And instead, they want to have what?

00:46:02.000 Division and discord, right?

00:46:05.000 They actually do not want to have people come together and be able to, especially at a young age, coexist in a rather profound and powerful way.

00:46:14.000 Okay, let me close with this and we'll do some questions.

00:46:17.000 I encourage every single young person here to understand that as you graduate college and as you're involved in all these things, it's going to be up to our generation to turn this thing around.

00:46:27.000 Now, it's very important.

00:46:28.000 Do not boomer bash, okay?

00:46:30.000 Don't bash boomers and say, why'd you guys give us such an awful state of affairs?

00:46:33.000 But people say, Charlie, what does success look like for the conservative movement?

00:46:39.000 It needs to be easier for every young person in this room to get married and have kids.

00:46:43.000 It needs to be easier.

00:46:45.000 It is really expensive and hard for young people to get married and have kids in America.

00:46:50.000 And so we need to develop a policy portfolio where it doesn't take, for example, it takes 36 hours of, it used to take 36 weeks of work a year.

00:46:59.000 I never get this right.

00:47:00.000 36 weeks of work a year in the 1980s to be able to support a family of four.

00:47:05.000 Now it takes 53 weeks of work a year to support a family of four, where 53 weeks, meaning it's more than one year.

00:47:12.000 You have to go into debt to support the family, right?

00:47:15.000 And so it would require then the other spouse to go into the workforce, or it would require the family to go into debt.

00:47:22.000 So what does that mean?

00:47:24.000 It should be optional for the other spouse to go into the workforce.

00:47:29.000 We need to create a set of affairs where it's easier to have big families in America.

00:47:34.000 Right now, it's increasingly difficult.

00:47:36.000 When some of you graduate, you're going to be entering an economy that is going to be a high preference on renting, not owning property.

00:47:43.000 America becomes a less safe and more dangerous and I would say unfree country when people rent property and they don't own property. 0.65

00:47:54.000 This is the least married generation in American history, millennials, not Gen Z. 0.73

00:47:58.000 It is the most miserable generation in American history as far as mental health, suicide, and all of that.

00:48:02.000 And you ask yourself the question, what are we going to do about it?

00:48:04.000 Are we just supposed to say, oh, just kind of sit on the sidelines?

00:48:06.000 No, I think we actually need to start to recommit ourselves to things that give people purpose and meaning, like marriage and having children.

00:48:13.000 Those are things that young people should always be told.

00:48:16.000 This is an ideal that you should run to.

00:48:18.000 This is where a lot of the people, you know, kind of scream me off campus, which is that, and again, I'm not going to tell anyone how to live their life.

00:48:24.000 I really don't care.

00:48:25.000 But I will say this, that you will be a happier person the earlier you get married and the earlier you commit yourself to one person, that you will be a happier person.

00:48:35.000 I could say it from experience.

00:48:37.000 I got married in May and it's amazing.

00:48:40.000 And I could go into dating advice and all that.

00:48:42.000 People ask me about that all the time.

00:48:43.000 Not exactly.

00:48:44.000 We did that in Clemson.

00:48:45.000 It was a mixed bag, be perfectly honest.

00:48:47.000 So very simple. 1.00

00:48:48.000 Men, get your act together seriously, become someone that women want to date. 0.99

00:48:52.000 Okay. 0.96

00:48:53.000 And so the young ladies always like, like they're like, yeah, yeah. 0.97

00:48:56.000 So right there, yeah.

00:48:58.000 The number, people say, Charlie, you know, what, again, young women can comment in the question sense, question, question portion if they agree or disagree.

00:49:07.000 The number one thing that I believe that young men need to understand is that self-control is far more important than self-esteem, is that if you are not able to control yourself, if you are not able to go three months without having a drink, if you are not able to show other young women that you can't control your natural impulses, then why on earth would they want to be with you?

00:49:25.000 And this is a huge problem is that a man that is able to control himself is a very desirable and rare thing in American society.

00:49:32.000 And I could see by every young lady nodding their head right now, I have just hit a 10 out of 10.

00:49:37.000 And young men are like, well, what does that mean?

00:49:38.000 Go find something difficult and go do it and forsake the easy.

00:49:43.000 That's what you do.

00:49:44.000 Maybe you got to wake up at 6 a.m. for a month straight.

00:49:46.000 Try it.

00:49:47.000 It's hard.

00:49:48.000 Maybe you got to go a whole quarter without taking a drink of alcohol.

00:49:51.000 It'll be rewarding.

00:49:53.000 And some people, you know, they laugh.

00:49:54.000 They say, oh, wow, I don't know if I could ever do that.

00:49:56.000 You all of a sudden want to become someone that's different, something that has purpose, not just meandering.

00:50:00.000 Sometimes it's going to take sacrifice because things that are wonderful in life usually take a lot of work.

00:50:06.000 Things that matter don't just come by scrolling through an Instagram feed or filling out an Amazon kind of delivery box.

00:50:13.000 It takes the betterment of the soul.

00:50:17.000 It takes an aim and dedicating oneself to it. 1.00

00:50:19.000 Now, for young ladies, I got nothing for you. 1.00

00:50:22.000 My wife can give you all the dating advice in the world. 1.00

00:50:25.000 But for young men, I got nothing but harsh teachings for all of you.

00:50:29.000 But you know what?

00:50:29.000 That's what you want to hear because young men want to be challenged.

00:50:32.000 Because young men are not being challenged.

00:50:34.000 They're not being treated by men. 0.69

00:50:35.000 They're being treated by like these metro-sexual creatures of the American college academic. 0.99

00:50:40.000 No, it's true. 0.94

00:50:40.000 You have to be safe. 0.94

00:50:41.000 Get your act together. 0.99

00:50:42.000 Stop acting like a bum. 0.99

00:50:44.000 Do something hard. 0.97

00:50:45.000 Wake up earlier.

00:50:46.000 You're better than that.

00:50:47.000 That's how men need to be communicated to, especially in an increasingly fatherless society.

00:50:56.000 Are you worried about America's future?

00:50:58.000 Times of trouble are full of reasons to despair.

00:51:01.000 But those who built and have preserved our country did not despair.

00:51:06.000 And if we are going to do our part, we need to draw on the books, the history, and the ideas that gave our forefathers and mothers strength and inspiration.

00:51:15.000 Hillsdale College, the beacon of the North, the last college, was founded in 1844 to teach all of these things and it teaches them still today.

00:51:23.000 The great news is that we can study all these things along with Hillsdale College professors right in our homes.

00:51:29.000 I take the Hillsdale online courses.

00:51:31.000 And in fact, I'm going to go to Hillsdale right now, to charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:51:35.000 I'm going to show you directly how I'm doing with my online courses.

00:51:39.000 And I'm going to tell you what courses I finished, and you guys can do it alongside me.

00:51:42.000 Boom, finish introduction to Western philosophy.

00:51:44.000 Boom.

00:51:45.000 Finish Western Heritage.

00:51:46.000 Boom.

00:51:47.000 Finish Intro to the Constitution.

00:51:48.000 Boom.

00:51:49.000 Aristotle's Ethics.

00:51:50.000 Finished Constitution 201.

00:51:51.000 Finish Constitution 101.

00:51:53.000 Finish Winston Churchill and statesmanship.

00:51:55.000 I am starting and working my way through a proper understanding of K-12 education and theory and practice.

00:52:00.000 The great American story, A Land of Hope.

00:52:01.000 That is a big lift, everybody.

00:52:03.000 I encourage you to do it.

00:52:04.000 Introduction to C.S. Lewis, Writings and Significance, the Presidency and the Constitution, the Genesis story, reading biblical narratives, and civil rights in American history.

00:52:12.000 I'm working my way through all of them, but things that matter take work.

00:52:16.000 And through Hillsdale's three online courses, we can study the history of our civilization, the wisdom of our ancient and Christian philosophers, the writings of Shakespeare and Mark Twain.

00:52:24.000 We can reacquaint ourselves with our Constitution and we can learn how the Constitution has been undermined and more importantly, how it can be recovered.

00:52:32.000 My friends, as we fight in the defense of family, faith, and freedom, let us draw on the best of the past with Hillsdale's guidance to save the greatest nation on earth.

00:52:54.000 All right, before we get started, this is a mostly conservative audience.

00:53:00.000 If someone who's on the left or a liberal comes and asks a question, do not interrupt them.

00:53:05.000 Do not heckle them.

00:53:07.000 Do not mock them.

00:53:08.000 Do not ridicule them.

00:53:09.000 Give them the respect they never give us.

00:53:11.000 Okay?

00:53:12.000 Let's do the first question.

00:53:14.000 Hi, Mr. Charlie.

00:53:15.000 My name is Carolyn Smith.

00:53:16.000 It's so nice to have you here.

00:53:17.000 I actually met you backstage at YWLS when I was going to meet Laura.

00:53:22.000 But the question I have for you is: how do we preserve election integrity moving forward?

00:53:27.000 Yeah, that's a great question.

00:53:29.000 Thank you.

00:53:30.000 So I think last night shows that our focus on election integrity has actually bare some fruit, which is that focusing on fair and free elections, I think actually made the other side less likely to cut corners and engage in shenanigans and tomfoolery and all that sort of stuff.

00:53:50.000 But also, I want to make sure, because I get this question a lot.

00:53:53.000 Charlie, what's the point of voting?

00:53:55.000 Right?

00:53:58.000 Edwin Durr is the point of voting because that guy rejected cynicism, right?

00:54:03.000 And this is a very important balance, right?

00:54:05.000 Which is you can be pro-reform-minded.

00:54:08.000 Don't ever say, oh, what's the point?

00:54:10.000 You know, look in Virginia.

00:54:12.000 Young won the governor's race because people showed up and they believed in the system, right?

00:54:17.000 Now, with that being said, we need voter ID.

00:54:20.000 We have to get rid of this entire mail-in ballot nonsense that has been plaguing our country.

00:54:25.000 We have to restore strict signature verification thresholds.

00:54:29.000 And is it Edward or Edwin?

00:54:31.000 Where's Connor?

00:54:32.000 Is it Edward?

00:54:34.000 Are you sure?

00:54:35.000 All right.

00:54:36.000 Edward Durr.

00:54:38.000 And so if we do not have faith in our elections, then people are not going to have faith in their leaders.

00:54:47.000 But here's the thing: the more we talked about it, I think we spooked the other side from doing what they did previously last night.

00:54:55.000 So I think the emphasis on the issue actually has helped in and of itself.

00:54:59.000 So thanks for being here tonight.

00:55:01.000 Super glad you're at YWS.

00:55:02.000 Thank you.

00:55:04.000 How are you doing?

00:55:05.000 I'm Adam.

00:55:05.000 I go to the University of Alabama and I'm from New York City.

00:55:08.000 So I was just wondering, because they're like, you know, the athletes like Kyrie Irving, for example, they're not allowed to play because they're not vaccinated.

00:55:14.000 So I was just wondering, how can we stand up to their tyranny about the vaccine and the forced vaccinations?

00:55:20.000 And like, how can we like, because like a phone call won't do anything.

00:55:23.000 So how can we like stand up to the government of New York City, to the mayor, to like the borough presidents?

00:55:29.000 How can we do that in order to stop the forced vaccinations?

00:55:31.000 Yeah, it's not easy.

00:55:32.000 I mean, I hope Eric Adams, the new mayor of New York City, who's hopefully going to be less radical, I hope he releases this order.

00:55:41.000 And look, I don't know how smart he is, but honestly, Kyrie Irving is more courageous than most Senate conservatives that I know.

00:55:49.000 Truly.

00:55:50.000 And I could say that, I mean, Kyrie Irving and Ice Cube are, I mean, but it's, so I mean, this is a serious question.

00:55:59.000 I want to ask all of you.

00:56:00.000 Would you give up $9 million if it meant not taking the vaccine?

00:56:04.000 Maybe you, yes, but some people would say, take my chances.

00:56:08.000 100%.

00:56:10.000 Ice Cube, he literally walked away from $9 million for a movie in Hawaii because he did not want to take the vaccine.

00:56:16.000 Kyrie Irving is walking away from, what, 20 to 30 million just this year and his entire career, right?

00:56:23.000 And so, yeah, it's a pretty miraculous thing.

00:56:27.000 And I just want to reiterate this, though, which is that you're not going to be able to take your country back without some form of sacrifice and without some form of cost.

00:56:36.000 I don't have any great advice on how to navigate the New York City bureaucracy, but I can say this, that Kyrie Irving, he has really showed me that he cares more about principle than money.

00:56:51.000 And I can't say that for most professional athletes.

00:56:53.000 Most professional athletes, it's all about signing a deal and just getting rich and getting paid.

00:57:00.000 And so he deserves our support.

00:57:01.000 He truly does.

00:57:02.000 And I think we have to keep the pressure on.

00:57:05.000 And honestly, he has my full respect.

00:57:08.000 And so few athletes have been able to do what he's done.

00:57:10.000 So thanks for being here tonight.

00:57:11.000 Appreciate it.

00:57:17.000 Hello.

00:57:17.000 My name is Jake Babbitch.

00:57:18.000 I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm more of a left-winger, but I do appreciate how open you and other right-wingers are to discussion, especially considering our similar upbringings growing up in the suburbs of Chicago.

00:57:28.000 With that being said.

00:57:29.000 Which suburb?

00:57:30.000 You're like Orland Parkinson.

00:57:32.000 I'm just south of there.

00:57:32.000 Yep.

00:57:33.000 Ever since the 2020 election, it seems that conservatives like to claim that there is election fraud after any time they lose an election, especially last night when many conservative influencers such as Laverne Spencer were claiming that there was voter fraud and they wanted to bring in the lawyers into New Jersey.

00:57:47.000 However, in Virginia, where Youngkin won, there was no mention of voter fraud or any of that kind of stuff any other side.

00:57:52.000 Is this going to be a trend to be a claim to claim fraud anytime Republicans lose elections?

00:57:57.000 And if so, would you ever provide the sufficient evidence that it exists?

00:58:02.000 That's a thoughtful question.

00:58:03.000 First of all, I think there was fraud in Virginia.

00:58:04.000 I just think that we had more people to show up so that we could compensate for the type of margins that would be there.

00:58:10.000 Now, let me be very clear about kind of what I mean by that.

00:58:13.000 First and foremost, mail-in balloting.

00:58:15.000 If you look at the amount of mail-in ballots that were sent in in the 2020 election and signature thresholds that were lowered, especially in the state of Georgia, right?

00:58:23.000 So Georgia went from 248,000 mail-in ballots to 1.2 million mail-in ballots and dramatically relaxing its signature threshold standards.

00:58:32.000 You cannot confidently say that Georgia had the infrastructure in place to be able to facilitate the election the same way they did in years prior.

00:58:40.000 And the mail-in ballot issue is really, really the most important, in my personal opinion, because you do not know certainly who's filling out the ballot.

00:58:47.000 You don't.

00:58:48.000 And there are plenty of examples how ballots are sent to multiple homes.

00:58:52.000 The way that elections were done when you and I grew up in Chicago is you had to go to a precinct, actually show up and vote, and actually show that you're in the register and vote.

00:59:00.000 You didn't have to show an ID when you and I grew up in Illinois, but that's a different issue.

00:59:03.000 But I think one thing you and I can both agree on, though, and you say you're more of a left-winger, and thank you for being here tonight and for your articulate question, is that there is something profoundly wrong with Mark Zuckerberg spending $420 million and actually going into the administration of the elections itself, hiring ballot counters, hiring people within the actual precincts themselves.

00:59:25.000 But to your point, yeah, I think there were plenty of shenanigans last night in Virginia.

00:59:29.000 To what extent, we may never know.

00:59:31.000 Bob Beckel himself went on television back in 2014 and said, Hey, just wait on Fairfax County.

00:59:38.000 We used to hold back the ballots and we know exactly how to find that.

00:59:41.000 Now, he might have been kidding and joking, or we might have seen some sort of growing trend that with the heavy mail-in balloting, there is this kind of growing uncertainty and uneasiness.

00:59:51.000 But I would just like to ask you just a quick question: Do you agree that there was something wrong with the fourth wealthiest man on the planet spending $420 million to change our voting laws?

01:00:01.000 Yeah, I definitely think some of that caliber shouldn't be like involved in something like that.

01:00:04.000 So, I definitely, that's something where we could see common ground on.

01:00:06.000 I'm pleased to hear that.

01:00:07.000 Thank you, man.

01:00:08.000 Thank you.

01:00:08.000 Real tied.

01:00:12.000 Hey, Mr. Kirk, I'm Christian Martin.

01:00:14.000 I'm a lifelong resident here in Tuscaloosa.

01:00:16.000 First off, I would like to preface the question by saying I really want to thank you and I heavily respect you for being a voice for Christ on the public stage.

01:00:24.000 Now, I do disagree with you on many of the issues of today.

01:00:27.000 I agree with you on some, but specifically, namely, the vaccine.

01:00:32.000 How is this vaccine and vaccine mandates for this vaccine constitutionally and human rights-wise, different from, say, the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine in public schools?

01:00:43.000 And what is the constitutional basis to go against this vaccine mandate in comparison to an MMR one, which has been supported by the Supreme Court in many cases?

01:00:53.000 I can give you three differences.

01:00:53.000 Fair question.

01:00:54.000 Okay, number one: this vaccine was rushed to market when MMR went through far more independent peer-reviewed trials, and this one was put into the market way quicker, and some would say in a rush capacity.

01:01:07.000 So, let me ask you a question: Do you walk around ever being ever worried that you're going to catch measles or mumps or rubella?

01:01:15.000 No, sir, I don't.

01:01:16.000 Yeah, because those vaccines work, right?

01:01:19.000 And so, of course, with the COVID shot, I'm not too scared about getting COVID either, though.

01:01:23.000 Right.

01:01:24.000 So, that's the second thing is that we have vaccinated people, as far as the eye can see, that are having what they're calling breakthrough cases, right?

01:01:33.000 Whether it be the governor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, who had a breakthrough case, whether it be nine members of the New York Yankees team breakthrough case, every person here who has the MMR vaccine, we're like, huh, okay, I'm confidently inoculated that I don't have to walk around in fear that I'm going to get measles, mumps, and rubella.

01:01:51.000 Let me give you a third difference, though, and one that I think is going to hit a sweet spot with your opening remarks, which is that religious and medical exemptions are usually always granted to MMR vaccines.

01:02:01.000 Is that when a mom or a dad will show up to a school system in most states across the country, 37 of them, they have vaccine freedom laws that if you go with a religious intent or a medical intent, you can get an exemption.

01:02:14.000 We have millions of people across the country right now that are being denied medical exemptions and religious exemptions for this current vaccine, right?

01:02:24.000 So, those are three differences.

01:02:25.000 And let me give you a fourth difference to the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and the current Johnson and Johnson, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, bio and tech vaccine that we have on the market, which is the adverse event reporting system, right?

01:02:37.000 So, anyone here right now can go to various.gov, va e rs.gov, vaccine adverse event reporting system.

01:02:47.000 I encourage you to go into the government's own publicly accessible website and go look at the adverse events to the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, which there are people that get paralyzed in the waist down from it.

01:02:57.000 There are people that sometimes get adverse events, but those are minuscule, like one in one million versus the adverse events that happen to this current vaccine, where currently, according to VARES, it shows over 17,000 deaths associated with the vaccine.

01:03:13.000 Now, that might be low, that might be high, but that should be, hold on, time out.

01:03:18.000 Anyone that goes to a government website and says that anything kills 17,000 people, that should be a reason to press pause and at least give people a chance to say, I don't want to take it.

01:03:28.000 And the final thing is this.

01:03:30.000 And I'll say a fifth thing, because you asked for a couple.

01:03:33.000 I said three, but now here's five, is that, and maybe you would agree with this.

01:03:36.000 Do you think people that have already had COVID should be able to then say, I don't want to have the vaccine?

01:03:43.000 I think it would be a good idea for them to still get the vaccine because studies have recently shown that it is at least marginally more effective than just natural immunity to it from getting COVID.

01:03:53.000 I got COVID in September of last year.

01:03:55.000 I still got the shot.

01:03:56.000 And I feel confident that it'll, you know, might as well just add a bit more of immunity.

01:04:02.000 But on one, now three did answer it, but I was more looking for a constitutional law-based answer in terms like states' rights, municipal rights.

01:04:12.000 So if we go back to the precedent of it, you're right.

01:04:15.000 You did ask that, and I didn't mean to dodge it.

01:04:18.000 In 1904, there was a Supreme Court decision called Jacobson v. Massachusetts that did allow states and bodies to come in, not physical bodies, but let's say governing bodies or community bodies to come in and mandate the vaccine.

01:04:31.000 It was Jacobson v. Massachusetts.

01:04:33.000 Now, I find that Supreme Court decision to be highly questionable on a variety of levels. 0.94

01:04:39.000 Now, that Supreme Court decision was used erroneously by Justice Louis Brandeis in the 1920s to sterilize 67,000 women who were deemed idiot women against their will. 0.86

01:04:53.000 So just understand that is the precedent that they are using.

01:04:56.000 Now, from a constitutional standpoint, some judges are agreeing with you.

01:05:00.000 Some judges are saying that the law is there and the precedent is there.

01:05:03.000 I'm encouraging every judge and every lawyer worth their salt.

01:05:06.000 Look at those five items I just mentioned.

01:05:08.000 Now, let me just name what it says on VARES.gov, V-A-E-R-S.

01:05:12.000 And you guys can make all your own decisions as you see fit. 0.79

01:05:14.000 And you've come very thoughtful and you've thought about this, obviously, but I want you to think about this.

01:05:19.000 According to VARES.gov, there were 818,000 adverse events to this vaccine, 127,641 doctor visits, 83,412 hospitalizations, 92,000 urgent care visits, 26,199 people that have been disabled, 10,179 people with Bell's palsy, 10,304 from myocarditis, 8,408 heart attacks, 2,631 miscarriages, and according to VARES, 17,128.

01:05:48.000 Now, some people don't believe VARES.

01:05:49.000 Some people think it's low.

01:05:50.000 It's high.

01:05:51.000 So let me do this.

01:05:52.000 Raise your hand if you know anyone that had an adverse event to this vaccine.

01:05:55.000 Raise your hand.

01:05:56.000 Yeah.

01:05:57.000 That smashes everything you've been told on television.

01:06:00.000 That's the most powerful point of data that shows everything I just showed was right.

01:06:04.000 Either everyone that just raised their hand is a walking autonomaton of confirmation bias, or the 300 people that just raised their hand are affirming that there's something different about this vaccine than MMR.

01:06:16.000 And I'll give you a sixth reason because you asked, which is this vaccine engages in mRNA-type vaccine technology, which the inventor of such technology is a man by the name of Dr. Robert Malone, who has come out and he has said this vaccine is not like any others.

01:06:32.000 You should press pause and I'd be very careful with it.

01:06:35.000 But I want to thank you for your respectful question.

01:06:38.000 And I hope I give you something to think about.

01:06:40.000 God bless you.

01:06:41.000 Thank you.

01:06:44.000 How are you doing, Mr. Kirk?

01:06:45.000 My name is Noah Linehan.

01:06:46.000 currently a student here at Alabama.

01:06:48.000 So I'm actually from just outside of Chicago as well.

01:06:51.000 I grew up in Bowling Brook.

01:06:52.000 One of the things that I noticed when I was in high school is we didn't have shop classes, wood shop, automotive shop classes.

01:06:58.000 Do you think the lack of labor shortage that we have right now in this country is due to the fact that a lot of high schools around the country do not have these classes that promote the blue-collar jobs of this country.

01:07:10.000 And then the second part of my question, I know it's going to sound silly.

01:07:12.000 Can I get a selfie with you real quick?

01:07:14.000 Sure.

01:07:15.000 And so, yeah, the first answer, it's even worse than that. 1.00

01:07:19.000 It's that plumbers, electricians, police officers, and firefighters are deemed stupid. 1.00

01:07:24.000 And everyone knows it. 0.99

01:07:26.000 Everyone knows that that's how they're categorized, and they don't know that it's true.

01:07:28.000 Let me be obviously very clear on that.

01:07:31.000 This is more for parents and less for students that are listening online or here tonight.

01:07:35.000 Deep down, parents get very anxious and nervous and scared that their kid might have to become a plumber.

01:07:42.000 And that's a real sad state of affairs.

01:07:45.000 I went to, and by the way, the fact that this room did not erupt in applause is exactly why I love Alabama.

01:07:51.000 And erupt in laughter, I should say.

01:07:54.000 When I say that very same line in high-income areas, parents laugh out loud audibly.

01:07:59.000 Like, oh, of course not.

01:08:00.000 My son becoming a plumber, he's going to be a lawyer, not like some person that comes and fixes our stuff and we just write him a check and get him out of our nice house.

01:08:08.000 You think I'm kidding?

01:08:09.000 That's how a lot of people view the muscular class in this country.

01:08:12.000 Oh, when I worked, I worked the past couple of years working construction.

01:08:16.000 I worked two years as a laborer.

01:08:18.000 And just to see like people say, oh, you're a laborer.

01:08:20.000 And I'm like, yeah, and they would laugh at me.

01:08:21.000 Well, I was making $17 an hour working as a laborer.

01:08:25.000 I got myself an internship last summer, worked as an internship this summer, and I just got my first full-time job offer not too long.

01:08:30.000 Oh, it's amazing.

01:08:31.000 And let me say this, that I want millions of more people like you that work with their hands and have strong character, and far less people that go to university and study North African lesbian poetry and don't know their direction in life.

01:08:49.000 So you can come get your selfie.

01:08:51.000 Great question.

01:08:51.000 Thank you.

01:08:52.000 Thank you so much.

01:08:54.000 Thanks, buddy.

01:08:55.000 All right, question.

01:08:56.000 My name's Joey.

01:08:58.000 Sorry, I'm from Lexington, Kentucky.

01:09:01.000 And, you know, I don't think I really need to preface this question much because I think we all know who I'm talking about.

01:09:09.000 But what do you think of Joe?

01:09:12.000 Let's go, Brandon.

01:09:14.000 Gotcha.

01:09:19.000 Lately, I've been sounding the alarm about why we all need to be well prepared in case the worst happens anytime soon.

01:09:19.000 Hey, everybody.

01:09:26.000 No, I'm not an alarmist.

01:09:27.000 I'm a realist.

01:09:28.000 I've been personally preparing myself and my family, and I hope you have too, because the way things are going, it's not looking good.

01:09:34.000 And none of us should ever gamble with our family's well-being.

01:10:17.000 That's mypatriotsupply.com.

01:10:25.000 Hi, I'm Mary Chapman Johnson.

01:10:27.000 I go to Omiss.

01:10:28.000 And my sorority.

01:10:30.000 They say hottie toddy at OMS, right?

01:10:32.000 Is that right?

01:10:32.000 There you go.

01:10:34.000 So my sorority actually forces CRT training on us.

01:10:40.000 And you get in trouble like if you disagree or like kind of make faces.

01:10:46.000 I pinched it to standards for it.

01:10:49.000 So I was just kind of wondering how I can take steps to combat it because at this point, I don't want to be an alumni or further associated with the organization after I graduate.

01:11:00.000 Yeah, so just want to make sure I understand the question so that the direct question is just like, how do you navigate all that basic? 0.80

01:11:08.000 Yeah, like, how can I like challenge nationals?

01:11:11.000 Because it's my chapter itself is not the perpetrators of this.

01:11:16.000 It's our national headquarters forcing it on us.

01:11:19.000 What's the name of the nationals again?

01:11:21.000 Kappa Kappa Gamma.

01:11:22.000 Okay.

01:11:23.000 Is anyone here?

01:11:24.000 Anyone there?

01:11:25.000 Capigama?

01:11:26.000 No.

01:11:27.000 So, and they're pushing kind of like the same sort of woke-ism type stuff.

01:11:31.000 Yes.

01:11:32.000 Okay.

01:11:33.000 So, yeah, you got to strike a balance because they could be ruthless, as you know, right?

01:11:39.000 But look, this is something that when you get involved with this at a young age and you get engaged and you get involved, you realize that things that matter come at a price.

01:11:49.000 But I would do everything with understanding that sometimes style can matter more than substance.

01:11:55.000 And I would challenge this aggressively and ask them exactly who's putting forth these measures, who's, you know, under what circumstances and for what reason are they putting this, you know, are they issuing this?

01:12:05.000 So, yeah, and I just want to commend you.

01:12:08.000 The fact that you're trying to push back against it will make you a stronger person.

01:12:12.000 This goes for every single person here.

01:12:14.000 Fighting against the institution is hard, but doing it at a young age will develop your character in a way that is meaningful and is long-lasting for the rest of your life.

01:12:23.000 So I hope you're involved.

01:12:24.000 You're involved with the Turning Point USA chapter too?

01:12:26.000 Yes, I'm the recruitment chair.

01:12:27.000 Awesome.

01:12:27.000 Well, God bless you.

01:12:28.000 Thanks for being here tonight.

01:12:29.000 Thank you.

01:12:33.000 Thank you for coming, Mr. Kirk.

01:12:35.000 My question is: I am a student staff member at the University of Alabama.

01:12:38.000 Recently, we got word that we would be required to take the Fauci Auchi.

01:12:43.000 We were notified of the mandate only five days before we would be required to get the first dose of Moderna.

01:12:48.000 We were not told how to apply for exemption until after the Moderna deadline had already passed.

01:12:52.000 Today, having still not heard back about my exemption request, we have just passed the deadline to get the first dose of Pfizer.

01:12:58.000 There's a lot of rumor that almost all the exemptions will be rejected other than quit my job, which will only hurt me financially.

01:13:05.000 How can I, as an individual, stand up to an unfairly rejected exemption request and to this mandate as a whole?

01:13:11.000 Yeah, so this is a great question.

01:13:13.000 This should not be happening in the state of Alabama, and there should be a zero tolerance policy.

01:13:18.000 And I think that anyone here that has a stakeholder interest in the University of Alabama and start making some calls, the governor needs to intercede immediately and sign an executive order and not allow this to continue in the state of Alabama for state employees, quite honestly.

01:13:34.000 And I will be contacting Senator Tuberville to talk about this because I think he needs to speak out.

01:13:41.000 All it takes is a couple.

01:13:42.000 In a state like Alabama, word travels quickly.

01:13:45.000 Things can be backed down.

01:13:46.000 But I would apply for the medical and the religious.

01:13:48.000 And you strike me as someone that does not want to take this vaccine, right?

01:13:51.000 Well, you should not be forced to take the vaccine against your will.

01:13:55.000 And I just want to say help is going to be on the way.

01:13:58.000 Like this make a big difference. 0.89

01:14:00.000 And I just want to say this: I want to thank the University of Alabama for allowing us to do this event, but be very careful, University of Alabama, forcing vaccines on your staff. 0.86

01:14:08.000 You do not want to be made a national news spectacle in a state like Alabama. 0.84

01:14:11.000 I could tell you right now, you are outnumbered in the state of Alabama, and it's not going to end well for you.

01:14:18.000 Hello, Mr. Kirk.

01:14:20.000 I've lived in Alabama my whole life, and I'm glad that you've received such good southern hospitality.

01:14:29.000 And so, what I just want to ask is: like, Republicans, we've had a really good day.

01:14:37.000 Yesterday, last night, I saw your live stream.

01:14:39.000 Oh, thank you.

01:14:40.000 And you did make me laugh a little bit.

01:14:42.000 Okay.

01:14:43.000 Talking about the truck driver.

01:14:45.000 And so, but my question is, so Republicans won a bunch of, like, a lot of races in Virginia, yes, last night.

01:14:58.000 And so, what's next for Republicans?

01:15:02.000 Well, I think I share a view that a lot of people share.

01:15:05.000 And thank you for the question, is that I'm sick and tired of winning elections and losing the country.

01:15:10.000 And that it's time for not, and by the way, last 24 hours were great, but Republicans need to listen to their voters.

01:15:17.000 And Yonkin needs to do what he said he's going to do and ban critical race theory immediately as day one of governor of Virginia, right?

01:15:26.000 We have to listen to our voters.

01:15:28.000 We have to take it seriously in more ways than one.

01:15:31.000 And I could tell you this, though, that, you know, if we look at what's happening in our country, we kind of are plagued by this ever-developing issue of people that are in kind of the Republic and Democrats, right?

01:15:45.000 And there's almost no issue.

01:15:47.000 There's almost no difference between the two of them, right?

01:15:49.000 So now it's time for us, the voters, to send a very clear mandate and message to the people in charge and say that, you know, we are not going to tolerate kind of the watering down and the lowering of expectations.

01:16:04.000 And so winning elections is phase one.

01:16:07.000 Then all of a sudden, you know, those of us that care about actually saving the country, then we need some real substantive action to follow that.

01:16:14.000 So thanks for being here.

01:16:15.000 I appreciate it.

01:16:15.000 God bless and let's go, Brandon.

01:16:20.000 Hi, Charlie.

01:16:21.000 My name is Jackson Scotius, and I'm actually from Lound County, Virginia.

01:16:25.000 So yeah, we've been like, I, yeah, we I know.

01:16:30.000 So I'm a poli sci major.

01:16:32.000 I actually go to Sanford University in Birmingham.

01:16:34.000 And so one thing that like I've wanted to do for like since I got here is to kind of like get politically involved, especially within Virginia, because as you and I know, you know, it's very corrupt, especially within Lounge County.

01:16:46.000 And my sister is in there right now and she was supposed to be homecoming queen, but she got turned down because they removed the homecoming king queen stereo and it's now homecoming queen person one and two.

01:16:57.000 And so I just want to ask, you know, like coming out of college, like where can I start to, you know, like start getting more politically involved, especially within Virginia?

01:17:05.000 Yeah.

01:17:06.000 Well, you're not too young to run for office and you're not too young to start to, you know, connect with people in Virginia.

01:17:12.000 Maybe you should go work for the Young administration and help them get rid of CRT in Loudoun County, Virginia.

01:17:17.000 I think that would be a good start.

01:17:19.000 But you guys all saw what happened in Loudoun County these last couple of months and became the center of the American political universe for good reason because in Loudoun County, Virginia, you saw at the transgender bathroom issue, right? 0.76

01:17:33.000 You saw a 15-year-old boy come in and rape a freshman girl. 0.92

01:17:37.000 And then the school board covered it up and sent the boy to another school where he raped again. 0.58

01:17:42.000 And that and amongst many other things that happened in Loudoun County, I think flipped the governor's race last night.

01:17:48.000 But my personal advice would be get engaged.

01:17:52.000 Join any campaign you possibly can.

01:17:54.000 But the school board and the mayor's races matter a lot.

01:17:56.000 Those city council races are extremely and critically important to actually making an impact both locally and statewide in Virginia.

01:18:05.000 And boy, Virginia probably made you proud last night. 1.00

01:18:08.000 Oh, yeah.

01:18:08.000 No, it was, I loved like it just, I was a little panicked because, you know, like McCullough wasn't like conceding.

01:18:13.000 So I saw Lord, so I had PTSD from 2020.

01:18:17.000 I was going to say, 2020 PTSD.

01:18:19.000 Stacey Abrams is coming in with the ballots, everybody, right?

01:18:23.000 He's bringing in piles of ballots.

01:18:25.000 I actually worked on Capitol Hill, so I like have a good political understanding already.

01:18:29.000 But thank you for your advice.

01:18:31.000 And I'm definitely going to use that to my advantage.

01:18:33.000 Thank you, man.

01:18:34.000 Thank you.

01:18:40.000 How are you doing, Mr. Kirk?

01:18:41.000 My name's Trey Saratsky.

01:18:43.000 As someone who battled in beat cancer in high school and doing like chemotherapy treatment, I don't really believe my chances with the vaccine are really good.

01:18:51.000 How do I navigate the workforce with these large companies being forced with these mandates?

01:18:56.000 Because I have an internship opportunity, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to take it or not because of the vaccine mandates and things like that.

01:19:05.000 Yeah.

01:19:06.000 That's such a sad and sick thing if you think about it.

01:19:09.000 So you're a cancer survivor.

01:19:11.000 I am, yes.

01:19:12.000 And, you know, yeah, we should totally applaud that, obviously.

01:19:16.000 And you're telling me now that you are going to be discriminated against as a cancer survivor.

01:19:25.000 Is that the essence, right?

01:19:27.000 Yeah, basically.

01:19:28.000 Yeah, that's that's beyond wrong.

01:19:30.000 Let me just say something.

01:19:32.000 That congratulations, Republican Party, on your wonderful victories last night.

01:19:36.000 If you don't step up immediately and start to pass legislation to protect voters from forced vaccinations, then we're going to have a little problem on our hands because people like you should not have to all of a sudden wait career opportunities based on having cancer as a child because you don't want to have to take a vaccine.

01:19:54.000 Now, have you already had COVID?

01:19:55.000 I'm just curious.

01:19:56.000 Yeah, you've already had COVID.

01:19:57.000 So you're naturally immunized.

01:19:58.000 And you're like, oh, I don't know if I want to get this job or not, or kind of your path forward with that.

01:20:03.000 So here's what I will tell you, though.

01:20:05.000 There's plenty of good places to work, like Turning Point USA, where we are not forcing the vaccine, or you can make your own medical decisions.

01:20:12.000 I think you'll be warmly embraced with that.

01:20:14.000 But I hope it doesn't come to this.

01:20:16.000 But the leaders of the Republican Party need to step up and do the courageous thing and pass legislation.

01:20:23.000 And they have to say that you are not going to force the vaccine on a population against their will.

01:20:30.000 That's the best thing I could say for you in saying you're a hero, right?

01:20:33.000 We elevate cancer survivors, survivors for good reason as heroes.

01:20:37.000 It's an amazing thing.

01:20:39.000 But now you're a villain. 0.99

01:20:40.000 Now you're unvaccinated.

01:20:41.000 Now you're fighting the system. 0.98

01:20:42.000 It's disgusting.

01:20:44.000 And we should call it that because someone like you should be, you know, walking into a workforce with nothing but optimism, not worry that somehow you're going to be working for your dream job and you get an email at 6 a.m. saying, oh, by the way, you have to submit your vaccination status by this date or you're going to be fired.

01:21:01.000 So I just want to let you know, we have your back, even though our political leaders do not.

01:21:05.000 So God bless you.

01:21:06.000 Thank you.

01:21:11.000 Hi.

01:21:12.000 My name is Erin.

01:21:13.000 I'm a student here and I'm an African American studies major.

01:21:17.000 But one thing I do agree with that you haven't said tonight is the school choice thing.

01:21:22.000 I do agree that you should be able to go to a school that's outside of your zip code.

01:21:26.000 I went to a great high school.

01:21:27.000 That's exactly why I was able to come here.

01:21:28.000 But my other question is that what are some examples of critical race theory?

01:21:34.000 Because I know like another question that another girl came, she said that she had to learn CRT and her sorority. 0.91

01:21:41.000 And what I thought it was, is that, you know, you should know how to interact with people of other races because I went to a school where it's, you know, mostly Caucasian people and I had to learn how to interact with other people.

01:21:53.000 So is it something like that or is it something deeper that we don't really know?

01:21:57.000 No, it's super simple.

01:21:59.000 So let me just kind of ask you, I bet we agree. 1.00

01:22:01.000 Do you support black-only dormitories? 1.00

01:22:04.000 Well, when I think of black-only dormitories, I believe that you're talking about like maybe HBCUs because it's mostly black people.

01:22:09.000 No, no, no, no.

01:22:10.000 Where are these?

01:22:11.000 Western Washington University, public school in Washington, has black-only dormitories.

01:22:16.000 Is that something you would support? 1.00

01:22:18.000 I mean, I would probably live in one, but I mean, that I'm not. 1.00

01:22:22.000 You don't want to live with white people? 1.00

01:22:23.000 I just have, I mean, I have, I didn't say that. 1.00

01:22:28.000 But I mean, it's kind of hard.

01:22:30.000 Sometimes, like, I have most, I mean, you know, I have a lot of white friends or whatever, but I, sometimes, I mean, it's hard to fit in here when you go here and you're a different color.

01:22:41.000 I mean, it's not hard to do. 0.91

01:22:42.000 Would you support white-only dormitories? 0.99

01:22:45.000 Some are around here.

01:22:46.000 Not many black people go here.

01:22:47.000 So it technically is white-only if you think about it. 0.64

01:22:50.000 No, it's not.

01:22:51.000 No, let me ask you another question.

01:22:53.000 I don't think anybody here would, oh no, some people might, you know, support that.

01:22:56.000 I mean, I never said I supported any only kind of thing.

01:23:00.000 No, I'm asking.

01:23:00.000 That's why I'm asking, right?

01:23:01.000 I think that, you know. 0.94

01:23:02.000 Do you support white-only? 0.70

01:23:04.000 Absolutely not.

01:23:04.000 I think it would be racist.

01:23:05.000 It's preposterous.

01:23:06.000 I believe that.

01:23:07.000 And guess what? 0.99

01:23:07.000 Black-only dormitories are racist, too. 0.99

01:23:10.000 I mean, hey, I guess so. 0.94

01:23:12.000 I might live in one if I could, but I can't.

01:23:15.000 So.

01:23:16.000 Okay.

01:23:16.000 Well, let me ask you another question.

01:23:18.000 At Columbia University, they have black-only graduation ceremonies.

01:23:22.000 Would you support that? 0.63

01:23:23.000 I mean, if it's, is it just like, so are they not able to graduate with the white people? 0.69

01:23:28.000 Is that why they can't?

01:23:29.000 Well, they have a separate ceremony just for black people. 1.00

01:23:31.000 Oh, I mean, I guess it's kind of like the separate ceremony, the ceremony when they don't want to go to graduation. 0.99

01:23:37.000 They want to do it online.

01:23:37.000 That's how I think of it.

01:23:38.000 So do you think segregation is evil and wrong?

01:23:41.000 I mean, black people weren't even able to join sororities here until 2012. 0.96

01:23:46.000 So not the PhD one.

01:23:48.000 So, you know, segregation here.

01:23:50.000 George Wallace did it from the colours.

01:23:51.000 No, that's not true.

01:23:53.000 And like, okay, when were PhD sororities and fraternities desegregated?

01:23:59.000 2013.

01:24:00.000 So you're trying to tell me that black people were not able to join a fraternity.

01:24:04.000 Yes.

01:24:05.000 Do you remember George Wallace too?

01:24:06.000 Segregation now, segregation, you know, for all?

01:24:09.000 Yeah.

01:24:09.000 Forever.

01:24:10.000 That's what happened as well. 0.97

01:24:11.000 That's what you're espousing when you say that black-only graduation ceremonies or dormitories. 0.91

01:24:16.000 Black-only graduation ceremonies are the least of our problems, at least of yours. 0.97

01:24:21.000 Do you think that you'll be able to go to an HBCU and have this same turnout and have these same people? 1.00

01:24:26.000 I've nothing.

01:24:28.000 I would hope so.

01:24:29.000 But I mean.

01:24:30.000 So what would you say to them?

01:24:31.000 But here's the thing.

01:24:32.000 I'm sorry, what? 1.00

01:24:32.000 What would you say to a room full of black people about you know what I'd say? 1.00

01:24:36.000 I'd say your skin color means nothing. 1.00

01:24:38.000 You're made in the image of God. 0.87

01:24:39.000 You're right.

01:24:40.000 But oh, I completely agree.

01:24:42.000 But I can tell you, I can tell you right now.

01:24:46.000 I can tell you right now, I'm a Christian.

01:24:47.000 I believe in God, but I have been going here for three years.

01:24:50.000 I'm a junior.

01:24:51.000 I have, oh, is it my?

01:24:52.000 I'm sorry.

01:24:53.000 No, you're fine.

01:24:54.000 I have most definitely faced racism and prejudice no matter what I believe in.

01:24:58.000 And it's just really hard to sit up here and listen to people come up here and say, oh, I don't want to learn CRT.

01:25:04.000 It's just making you able to interact with other types of people.

01:25:09.000 I have no idea.

01:25:10.000 No, it's not.

01:25:10.000 So let me just tell you.

01:25:11.000 So at the Georgia Public Schools in Atlanta, they put black sixth graders in one classroom and white sixth graders in another classroom.

01:25:18.000 Is that evil?

01:25:20.000 I've never seen it.

01:25:20.000 Can you show me a video of those two Atlanta Segregational Public Schools?

01:25:25.000 It was that.

01:25:26.000 I have, not to write, but I have family members that go to schools in these areas.

01:25:31.000 And I also have people who live in redlining districts where they can't go to good schools.

01:25:36.000 Do you support segregation?

01:25:39.000 No, I do not.

01:25:40.000 Okay, we agree. 1.00

01:25:42.000 Therefore, black-only dormitories and black-only graduation ceremonies and putting sixth graders in one classroom based on skin color in the other. 0.97

01:25:50.000 Those are outgrowths of CRT. 0.96

01:25:53.000 So learning.

01:25:54.000 So, okay, so tell me, give me an example of what critical race theory is.

01:25:59.000 I'll be happy to tell you.

01:26:00.000 So critical race theory is an emphasis at saying skin color matters, that the color of someone's skin is important in judging the value of the human being.

01:26:10.000 I get that, but if I were to, if you were teaching a class that is like, that was talking about critical race theory, we're all sitting here.

01:26:17.000 What would your lecture be?

01:26:18.000 Like, well, tell me, what are your points?

01:26:20.000 Like, who is this author that youbert Marcuse and an author by the last name of Spinoza wrote a book called One Dimensional Man in the 1960s?

01:26:28.000 Herbert Marcuse came from the Frankfurt School in the 1930s, and he started this at Columbia University.

01:26:34.000 Coming out of a Marxist belief of power dynamics, he believed that power struggles were not just the rich versus the poor, but also black versus white.

01:26:45.000 And he wanted to expand the kind of conversation to also engage racial dynamics.

01:26:50.000 Inherent in critical race theory is a belief that people are not individuals, they're members of tribes.

01:26:55.000 Inherent in the idea of critical race theory is that there is no free speech or reason or scientific inquiry.

01:27:00.000 These are white supremacists, Eurocentric constructs that have been put into the Western world.

01:27:06.000 And the one that is the one that I think is most prevalent, CRT believes racism is everywhere.

01:27:12.000 That racism is the norm.

01:27:13.000 That racism is within our systems.

01:27:15.000 It's in our language.

01:27:16.000 It's in our customs.

01:27:17.000 It's in our codes.

01:27:18.000 It's in all these sorts of things.

01:27:19.000 Now, that's a super quick version of what CRT is.

01:27:22.000 So happy to dive into that more.

01:27:25.000 But I think it's, we don't have to overcomplicate it, which is, do you think people should be judged based on the color of their skin?

01:27:31.000 It's not that I think that, but it's that it's happening.

01:27:34.000 And you cannot ignore that I might not be treated the same as him as he walks.

01:27:39.000 You're right, it is happening.

01:27:40.000 Like at Coca-Cola, they say they need to train their employees to abolish whiteness. 0.69

01:27:44.000 At ATT, they said they would need to train their employees to get rid of whiteness.

01:27:49.000 We have a supply and demand issue with racism in our country.

01:27:52.000 We have an incredibly low supply of racism, an incredible demand to try to fulfill it.

01:27:56.000 So we've created racism where it doesn't exist and try to turn everyone into mini races against each other, which has now manifested itself into a massive anti-white movement in our country where I believe more than anything else we should care about character, not skin color.

01:28:12.000 Do you agree with that?

01:28:14.000 It's not, I don't, I don't believe that you understand what I'm saying.

01:28:17.000 It's not that I don't agree with not, um, I'm sorry.

01:28:21.000 Oh, it's not that I don't agree with you know what you just said, but you have to realize that it's black people are like white people are not being haunted, hunted after. 0.97

01:28:37.000 Y'all can come here and live a great freaking life. 0.98

01:28:40.000 Alabama is a safe haven. 1.00

01:28:42.000 These PHC fraternities and sororities are a safe haven for white people. 1.00

01:28:46.000 You're being hunted. 0.97

01:28:48.000 Let me tell you, okay, y'all can laugh, but until you have walked as a black person on this campus, y'all, y'all truly, y'all truly don't understand. 0.97

01:28:56.000 And I understand, and I have, I've gone to school with white people my whole life.

01:28:59.000 I've gone. 0.92

01:29:00.000 So it's just.

01:29:02.000 I will end with this.

01:29:03.000 You're not being hunted at the University of Alabama, and there is no boogeyman that's trying to get you.

01:29:08.000 It's not, you're making you're making it seen.

01:29:11.000 You live in the least racist country in the history of the world.

01:29:14.000 You're in Alabama.

01:29:16.000 You are literally in the place where it's not okay.

01:29:21.000 Yes, you mean the place that has given you more talking time than any other person here?

01:29:26.000 And why they sit racist?

01:29:27.000 Are you supposed to lay me down and be like, go sit down?

01:29:29.000 I mean, you're worthy of that.

01:29:31.000 That would have happened 100 years ago.

01:29:33.000 You're right.

01:29:34.000 100 years ago, you might not have been allowed to come into this room, which would have been bow to you because which would have been evil.

01:29:40.000 No.

01:29:41.000 Instead, we are here.

01:29:42.000 We're creating a movement to say we never want to go back to the segregation that once existed in this country that is now being pushed by people in corporate America, in academia, and other places.

01:29:54.000 We want to strive for a country that cares about character and the soul and the spirit of the individual, not on tribes, not on the melanin content in people's skin.

01:30:04.000 And I will say this as compassionately as I can: is that you are not being hunted as a black person in America.

01:30:11.000 There's not a single statistic that affirms that.

01:30:13.000 There's not a single data point.

01:30:15.000 Instead, the opposite is true. 0.89

01:30:17.000 We are the least racist, most accepting, multiracial country in the history of the planet. 1.00

01:30:22.000 And I pray one day you'll be thankful to live in that country. 1.00

01:30:25.000 Thank you for being here tonight.

01:30:27.000 Thank you.

01:30:30.000 Everybody, CJ, CJ, come here.

01:30:32.000 Really quick.

01:30:34.000 I have a question.

01:30:34.000 Come here.

01:30:35.000 Vote right there. 1.00

01:30:40.000 So, CJ, just really quick, you're a black person. 0.98

01:30:43.000 Are you hunted at the university?

01:30:44.000 You know, I don't feel hunted at this university, but I guess the difference between me and some people here is that I don't choose to be a victim, Charlie.

01:30:50.000 Which I think, which I think is the biggest problem we have here today: are people who wake up every single day looking for a reason to be oppressed, looking for a reason to cry and make an excuse about why they're not in a position to go win.

01:31:05.000 I don't see the color of my skin as a disability.

01:31:07.000 I see it as simply an accessory that I couldn't control.

01:31:10.000 I've been black all my life.

01:31:11.000 I've been black today, and I'm thriving here.

01:31:14.000 I think that's a roll tide right there, right? 0.91

01:31:16.000 And so, CJ, let me ask you: CRT, racist?

01:31:22.000 It's not just racist, it's the exact iteration of white supremacy just in reverse.

01:31:26.000 I think it's important that we start teaching young people not to hate other people because of the color of their skin.

01:31:31.000 We can teach black people to be proud of who they are without telling white people they should be ashamed of who they are.

01:31:37.000 You know, amen.

01:31:40.000 So, closing thoughts, CJ.

01:31:43.000 Is this trying to divide the country?

01:31:45.000 It's not only trying to divide the country, it's trying to break apart the foundation upon which it was built.

01:31:50.000 You know, people forget the words of MLK, Rosa Parks, all those people who fought so hard for us to be a united country where we didn't see the color of one's skin, but their character.

01:31:59.000 This is about taking us away from the vision and the dream of Martin Luther King and just taking us to the dream of Kamala Harris.

01:32:05.000 And I don't want to live that dream.

01:32:06.000 Amen.

01:32:07.000 CJ, you're a great American.

01:32:09.000 Give it up to CJ, everybody.

01:32:10.000 So good.

01:32:12.000 God bless you, man.

01:32:14.000 Everybody, this was great tonight.

01:32:16.000 I want to thank some of the disagreements.

01:32:18.000 It was great as always.

01:32:19.000 Everybody, Alabama is a great state.

01:32:21.000 It truly is.

01:32:22.000 And I just want to say, God bless this wonderful country and for everyone being here tonight.

01:32:26.000 And in closing, the future is dependent on what you do.

01:32:31.000 If we act and if we're optimistic and solution-oriented, our best days are ahead.

01:32:36.000 It is a gift from the Lord to live in America, the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.

01:32:42.000 God bless you guys and roll tide.

01:32:44.000 God bless.
